jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi there, I have been able to select multiple rows and bring up a dialog to edit them (by pressing the left/right arrows to edit each row). I am wondering if you could instead select multiple rows, click edit to bring up a dialog, and apply that edit to all of the selected rows?

I have an idea of how I can do this myself without using jqGrid's functionality but if it is already built in somehow I would prefer to use that of course. 

Thanks in advance.
