Selecting Rows in Lists

Many lists allow you to select more than one row, so you can perform some action on them all.  For example, you may be able to delete all selected records, or load them all into the Email window, or save them to a file.

MemberTies supports the standard Windows row selection actions using a combination of the keyboard and the mouse, as described below.

Note that the CTRL and SHIFT keys can be combined to select different sets of rows. i.e., you can hold the CTRL key to select several rows, then add the SHIFT key to it and click further down the list.

To Unselect Single Rows

If you have a bunch of rows selected and just want to unselect a row within the set, hold the CTRL key down and click the row you don't want.  If it is already selected (highlighted), it will be unselected.
