<module>
<id>Multi actions</id>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<auto-deploy>true</auto-deploy>
<auto-deploy-index>101</auto-deploy-index>
<configurations>
<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary" replace="true">
<multi-select>
<action type="action-link" id="onActionDownload" icon="document-download" label="menu.selected-items.download" />
</multi-select>
</config>
</configurations>
</module>

In above code , onActionDownload is a function, which will get called on click of the actions.Yu need to define this function inside javascript file.You can use the existing functions as well.Existing multiselect actions are defined inside share-war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\share-documentlibrary-config.xml file.
