Selecting or deselecting records by clicking read-only fields

To select or deselect records, click read-only fields in the rows in the grid:

  • To select a record, click a read-only field in the corresponding row in the grid.
  • To select an additional record, press Ctrl and click a read-only field in the corresponding row in the grid.
  • To deselect a record that is already selected, press Ctrl and then click a read-only field in the corresponding row.

    This action reverses the selection status of a record: if you perform this action on a record that is not yet selected, that record is selected.

  • To select a range of records, click a read-only field in the first record of the range. Then press Shift and click a read-only field in the last record of the range. Both records, and all records in between, are selected.

    If the range contains many records, a progress window is displayed during the selection process. If you click Stop in this window, all marked records are deselected.

Note: If you have already selected one or more records, and you click a read-only field in another record without pressing Ctrl or Shift, the old selection is canceled. That is: only the new record is selected; the records that were already selected are deselected.
