Summary
Description
You may want to select more than one record at a time. For example, you may want to highlight five different suppliers at once.
When selecting more than one record, there are two methods you can use:
- Windows selection style - (Default setting) Use the shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple records
- Sage selection style - click each individual record to select them
It's easy to change these settings.
NOTE: It isn't possible to select more than one bank account at a time.
Let's take a look.

How to select multiple records
Select multiple records
Select continuous records:- Click the first record in the list you want to select.
- Press and hold the Shift key.
- Click the last record in the list you want to select.
Select non-continuous records:
- Press and hold the Ctrl key then click any required records.
Find a specific record
By entering a sequence of alphanumeric characters on the keyboard, the record selected will relate to all of the characters entered. For example, to select the first customer record starting with SA, you should enter SA whilst in the Customer window. To select the next record starting with SA, enter the same characters again, without a pause.
NOTE: Where you can sort the window into a different order, based on the column heading, the record selected is based on the current sort. For example, if you sort customer records in name order, the record you select is based on the Name column, rather than the A/C column.
Select multiple records
To select multiple records you can click them individually or use the Swap and Clear options.
- Swap - swaps the selection on the currently selected records.
- Clear - clears the selection on the currently selected records.
