Multiple selections on a table box

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:15:48 GMT

Hi,

I know that it's possible to select more than one row in a list box by holding the ctrl key and clicking. The issue I'm having is that I have a table box that has the customer id and the customer name and I would like to be able to select multiple customers. Is there a way to do this when you have more than one column?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shannon

You can't select multiple columns directly in the table, but you can if you set the column to have Dropdown Select (Presentation tab). The Dropdown will behave list a Listbox, allowing multi-select and search.

Hi Pablo,

1. Create a tablebox and add some fields.
2. On the Presentation tab of the tablebox properties, select the field(s) and check the "Dropdown Select" box. (I think dropdown feature was added in 8.5)

Table columns that have dropdown selected will have a little arrow or triangle at the top of the column. Click the arrow and the values will expand into a list that can be multi-selected (using Ctl-click or Shift-click).
