Hi again,

Sorry to maybe not understand how to get started, but I'm trying for something even without the added complexity of a workflow.

If you could point me into the right direction: how would I have a single tool where on the tool form there is a multi-select of certain datasets in the user's history.  The user multi selects X datasets in the form and hits submit and Galaxy will launch X tool jobs (on for each of the datasets) at the same time in the history.

How do I go about doing this?

Sorry for being daft,
Leandro
