How to perform bulk actions with Active Admin

In Active Admin, is it possible to add a checkbox to each item in an index page (this isn't hard), and add some kind of menu to perform bulk actions on all selected items, like delete all selected items at once.

I can't find an other way to do this than to create a custom page, but I'd rather not do that; seems like overkill to me.

It works using the mentioned branch, but not on a custom panel, from what I'm seeing.

We have it working on an index:

index do
    selectable_column
    column :id
    column :name

But can't make it work on a show:

panel "Children - Process Nodes" do
  text_node link_to "New", new_admin_process_node_path(:parent_id => department_node.id)
  unless department_node.children.empty?
    table_for department_node.children do 
      column :id
      column :name

selectable_column inside table_for doesn't seem to work.

undefined local variable or method `selectable_column' for #

Any idea?

Thanks
