“Selecting” is required as soon as you would like to perform actions such as creating a task, or deleting or copying files.

To allow you to work more quickly with files or objects (e.g., contacts or product data sets), you can select multiple items and perform actions in the toolbox or with Drag&Drop.

Tip 1: Selective multiple choice of files or objects 


  1. Open a module of your choice – for example, “Files”.

  2. Select your preferred display option: Tile view or list view.

  3. Clicking on a file or object selects it. This places a check in the checkbox next to the tile or list entry.

  4. Press and hold the Ctrl button on your PC or CMD button on your Mac.

  5. Clicking on further files or objects allows you to carry out a selective multiple choice.


    For example: Multiple files are selected


  6. Available actions for the selected files or objects are displayed in the toolbox.

    Note: Actions can be specific to files or objects and may only be available if you select one or more files/objects of the same type. For example, the action of mass tagging is only available once you have selected at least two files/objects.  


  7. Actions with the toolbox: Select any action in the toolbox.



    Drag&Drop (files only): Perform a Drag&Drop action for the files.
