Using Marked Items

Marking items is a means of selecting one or more items.
It is similar to regular item selection except that:
  • It is persistent in that marked items remain as such until replaced with other items
  • The list of marked items is shown in the Properties pane
 
To mark items:
  1. Select one or more items in any UIs (Grid, Calendar, Surface, Live-Search)
  2. Do Item > Marked Items > Mark Items (Ctrl+Shift+M)
  3. Mark Items will first clear the list. To add, use Add to Marked Items instead
 
  
 
Once items are marked, you can:
  • Add these as sub-items of the currently selected item. Doing this on more than one item will assign multiple parents to these items
  • Add these as related items to the currently selected item. Details
  • Show these in a grid (right-click Marked Items in the Properties Pane and select View Marked Items: they will show in the Scratch Grid
  • Show these in the Live-Search. Details 
  • Create a hyperlink to these items using the Hyperlink dialog. Details 
  • Hoist any grid to show marked items. Details 
     
Two more Marked Items commands can be added to the menus:
  • Add Hyperlink to Marked Items: Inserts hyperlink in the current item
  • Clear list of Marked Items
