Selecting assets in the assets table

In the assets table, you can select assets to view their information and manage these assets. When assets are selected, the details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

To select the relevant assets in the table, perform one of the following actions:

• If you want to select one asset, select the check box next to the asset or use your mouse to select the asset.
• If you want to select multiple assets, select the check boxes next to the relevant assets or select them by holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key.
• If you want to select all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings, perform one of the following actions:
  • Select any asset in the table and press the key combination CTRL+A.
  • Select the check box in the title of the left-most column of the table.

When more than one asset is selected, the details area shows the quantitative distribution of the selected assets by category. If there are assets with various categories among the selected assets, you can exclude assets from one of the categories. To do so, you need to clear the check box next to the name of this category.

The title of the left-most column of the table shows the asset selection check box. Depending on the number of selected assets, the check box can have one of the following states:

•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were not selected in the table. However, one asset or multiple assets may be selected in the table by using the check boxes next to the assets or by using the CTRL or SHIFT key.
•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table.
•  – all assets that satisfy the current filter and search settings were selected in the table, but then the check boxes for some of the assets were cleared. This state is also retained if the check boxes were cleared for all assets selected in this way (due to the fact that the number of selected assets may change).

If all assets that satisfy the filter and search settings are selected, the number of selected assets may be automatically changed. For example, the composition of assets in the table may be changed by an application user in a different connection session or when assets are automatically added. It is recommended to configure the filter and search settings in such a way that ensures that only the relevant assets end up in the selection (for example, you can filter assets by their IDs before selecting all assets).
