Selecting items

In a thumb gallery items can be selected by

  • Clicking the box at the top left corner of a thumb.
  • Clicking Select All on the menu. This selects only the items on the current page in view, it doesn’t include items from other pages that might have been returned by the search.
  • TIP: If you have say 118 items returned by a search, you can get them on to a single page by changing to ‘View 120 items per page’ at the top right.

Clear Selection on the menu clears all currently selected items on the page.

Toggle Selection selects any unselected items on the page, and unselects any selected items on the page.

On an item page there is a Select button below the image to select the item.
