Clicking or tapping the same column heading again changes the ascending or descending order of values in the
column.
10.4 Manual Selection of Database Records
Clicking or tapping on a row in the database display single-selects a row. Clicking or tapping it again de-selects the
row. Selecting another row will de-select previously selected rows in single selection. Selected rows are
highlighted with white text on a black background.
Checking the ‘Multiselect’ check box below the left side of the database table allows the selection of multiple
rows. Tapping or clicking once selects a row, but previous selections remain selected unless you click or tap it
again to de-select it. Un-checking the Multiselect check box will de-select all selected records.
Figure 54. Multiselect and Multiple Selection
Multiple selections are useful for viewing, managing and quickly viewing statistics of only a few selected records.
10.5 Automatic Selection of Database Records
When the total number of records in a database becomes very large, manual selection of records can become
difficult. The ‘Select by’ function in the Manage records panel provides the means to select a group of records
automatically according to their identifying information. See section 10.8.1 for more information on the Select by
database function.
10.6 Viewing Detailed Results
Multiple selection is also useful for viewing the detailed results of a few records rather than navigating through
the database. After selecting several records, clicking or tapping the ‘Details’ button on the database panel will
display the detailed results for the first record in the selection. Clicking or tapping the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons on
the details screen displays the details of the next record in the selection.
