Selecting entries

Companion and Reflect

You will need to select entries for many purposes including updating, moving, deleting, and also for analysis.  The number of entries selected is shown in the status bar.

You can select one or more entries from the Main window using the mouse or keyboard.

Each entry has a sequence number to assist in locating it in the list of entries.

The entry list can be sorted on any column and the sorted list can be used when selecting entries.  Remember to sort on the sequence number column afterwards to restore the list to its "natural" order.

TIP: to locate an existing entry from the list at the Main window, highlight any entry on screen and then quickly type in the name of the entry you wish to find.

You can select all entries with [Edit] [Select all] from the Main window.

TIP: you can also select all entries by clicking in the status bar on the Main window where the number of selected entries is shown.  Clicking a second time will deselect all entries.

For more complicated selections you can use [Edit] [Select by criteria] that invokes a new window.  From Entry select you can select entries by:

Entry names

Entry types

Response (answer) types

Entry references

Text search

Entries selected can optionally be added to, or removed from the current selected list.
