Toolbar

Selection (FamPat, Fullpat and Fulltext)

The record being viewed will be highlighted with a light blue background in the results list. This background highlighting will change to white when a different record is selected.

Most of the functions (export, similarity search, etc.) are accessible only after one or more documents have been selected. Then, the buttons appear in the toolbar. Right clicking on the toolbar will bring up a list giving you the option to display the labels for the icons and select or deselect buttons for display in the toolbar when it is activated.

You can select all documents in the list by clicking on the Select button once or clicking on the small arrow to the right of the Select button and selecting All records from the dropdown menu. All selection boxes next to the records in the list are then checked and the documents in the list of results appear on a yellow background.

All the documents displayed on a page can be selected by clicking on the check box in the column header next to the Title column header or by clicking on the Select button and selecting Current page. Records can be selected one by one by clicking on the check box next to each one or by using the Range option given by the Select button. With that, you set the beginning and end list numbers of the records you want to select and then click OK.

To deselect, click None.
