Tab to have all records set to edit by default

You can enable 'Inline Edit' mode for all records automatically using Javascript API.

Have tried item #2 from that list without much success.
Q: I'm attempting this in a Custom View. For the tablename reference do I enter the custom view name or the actual table name?
eg

In the following example my table is called Table1 and the custom view called View1
// define table name of current list page:

var tableName = 'View1';

var pageObj = Runner.pages.PageManager.getAt(tableName, pageid);

pageObj.inlineEdit.editAllRecs();

You need to use the Custom view name here.
