Nowadays these are the available actions in massive actions of agent management

Update \ Agent * Child entities * locked * Threads number (network discovery) * Threads number (network inventory (snmp))
Delete permanently
Module - WAKEONLAN
Module - INVENTORY
Module - InventoryComputerESX
Module - NETWORKINVENTORY
Module - NETWORKDISCOVERY
Module - DEPLOY
Module - Collect
Transfer

I think is a little confusing because when I wonder why 'Module - *' are in the first level and not under 'Update > Agent' I don't get a logical answer. If they are things to change or update, why are they outside of 'Update > Agent' menu?. Would it not be more logical this other structure?

Update \ Agent * Child entities * locked * Module - WAKEONLAN * Module - INVENTORY * Module - InventoryComputerESX * Module - NETWORKINVENTORY * Module - NETWORKDISCOVERY * Module - DEPLOY * Module - Collect * Threads number (network discovery) *\ Threads number (network inventory (snmp))
Delete permanently
Transfer

or even more this other one

Update \ Agent * Child entities * locked * Module ** WAKEONLAN ** INVENTORY ** InventoryComputerESX ** NETWORKINVENTORY ** NETWORKDISCOVERY ** DEPLOY ** Collect ** Threads number (network discovery) ** Threads number (network inventory (snmp))
Delete permanently
Transfer

+Although my suggestion is this one+

Update \ Agent * Child entities * locked * Port (see #2700) * Modules \ All modules ** --- ** Collect data ** Computer inventory ** Network inventory (SNMP) ** Network discovery ** Package deployment ** VMware host remote inventory ** Wake On LAN * Threads ** Both ** --- ** Network discovery ** Network inventory (SNMP)
Delete permanently
Transfer

This one has several adventages.

+It's more logical+. All 'Modules - ' and 'Threads ' are under 'Update > Agent'. Even better, modules and threads have its own menus; 'Update > Agent > Modules' for modules and 'Update > Agent > Threads' for threads. It's more logical and more clear.
+It allows more (and more eficient) actions+. With 'Update > Agent > Modules > All modules' could be possible enable or disable all modules at a time, the same as with 'Update > Agent > Threads > Both' could be possible change the threads of network discovery and network inventory at a time.
+It has a more coherent names+. The structure uses the same names what the user can see when he is managing individualy (one by one) the agent. By the way, 'locked' should be capitalized ('Locked').

In addition to these advantages, I like because it is an idea of mine (but perhaps this is not a compelling reason). :D
