A Batch Processing wizard performs an operation on a set of records of the same type (such as Persons records). Typically, this type of wizard is tied to an entity list view, and the wizard processes the records returned by that source view. For any wizard that requires an entity list view to provide its source, that wizard cannot be launched from an entity browser and a developer needs to specify a source view when linking the wizard to a dashboard button. See "Supporting Prompt Views" on in the Developer Guide for for information on how to configure your wizard so it can run from prompt views.
