In
several screens of Manage IT!, you may want to select several
items in a list. Sometimes these items are all listed in
order together (contiguous), and sometimes these items
may be divided from each other by items that you do not
want to select (discontiguous).

Selecting
Contiguous Items Place
the cursor over the first item in the set you want to select
and click on it once to highlight it. While holding down
the shift key, place the cursor over the last item in the
set you want to select and click once. The entire contiguous
list should now be highlighted.
Selecting
Discontiguous Items Hold
down the command (Macintosh users) or control (Windows users)
key on your keyboard. Place the cursor over the first item
in the set you want to select and click on it once to highlight
it.
While still holding the command/control key on your keyboard, place the
cursor over the next item you want to select and click once to highlight
it. Now both of these items will be highlighted, but none of the items
between them will be highlighted.
Continue selecting items in this manner, always holding down the command/control
key on your keyboard, until you have selected all of the items you need.
To deselect any item, simply click on it again while still holding down
the command/control key.
Selecting
a Combination of Contiguous and Discontiguous Items Use
the shift Key to select a group of contiguous items. Use
the command/control key to move to an item that is not
contiguous with the set selected in #1. You can then use
the shift key again to add contiguous items.
