Selection	Description
One Row	Click on any row to highlight that row.
Range of Rows	To select a range of rows, highlight the first row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last row.
Multiple Rows	To select multiple (but not consecutive) rows hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on various rows in the grid.
All Rows	To select all of the rows showing on the page, click anywhere on the grid, then press Crtl-A

Editing Data

For some grids, data elements are editible directly where they appear in each record. The quickest method for editing a date, numeric, or alpha-numeric data element is to double-click on the cell that contains that content.
