Shared technical support request

Request
Generally, to highlight a block of measurement items I use the following combinations:
- Shift key pressed + left mouse button click on items - ( used when items to be highlighted are NOT consecutive);
- Shift key pressed + Arrow Down key - (combination used when items to highlight ARE consecutive ).

Are there other quick selection features that allow to select multiple Measurement items?

Answer
Yes, thereare other functions available to select a block of entries in the Measurements editor. These functions are as follows and can be used if:
A) the measurement items to be highlighted, are part of the same 'Category' (Super Categories, Categories, Sub Categories)
-> see figure - Structure toolbox (work categories filter)

B) the measurement items that are to be highlighted, have a part of Tariff/Article code in common.
-> see figure - Search toolbox - Super Search in the current view (tariff, article, phase code, date, bridge code, WPS)

C) the measurement items to be highlighted, have the same ' Active Flag ' in the Measurements editor.
-> see figure - Search toolbox - Super Search in current view (Active Flag)
-> click to see how to insert, search and highlight measurement items with a bookmark

D) the measurement items to be highlighted, have been filtered and/or organized the Super View features.
-> see figure Super View - Tools -
-> click to access further details regarding the Super View functions (for filtering, organizing, printing and exporting cost estimate data)
