Remove Some Records from Selection

You can select all records and then exclude a few specific records. For example, you want to edit all accounts but want to exclude employee accounts.

To remove some records from a selection, follow these steps: 

  1. Select all records.

  2. Clear the check box next to the records you don't want to include in the selection. You can click through different pages to clear records on multiple pages while retaining the overall selection.

To see the records you've selected, click ˅ and then click View Selected.

To go back to viewing all the records, click ˅ and then click View All.
