SUNSS Tips

The select boxes in SUNSS allow you to select either one item at a time or multiple items at a time. The example below will allow you to practice selecting and deselecting multiple objects in a select box.

To select several objects in a row, click on the first object to highlight it. Hold down the "shift" key on your keyboard. You can either use the up or down arrow on your keyboard to highlight the object you wish to select, or you can use your mouse to click on the last object in the row you wish to select. All of the objects between the first and last will be selected.



To select multiple items which are not in a row, for example, "Select 1" & "Select 3", click on the first item you wish to select. Hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard. Using your mouse, click on the next item you wish to select. You can deselect an item by holding down the "Crtl" key & clicking on the previously selected item.


Radio buttons offer two or more options from which to choose. A default selection has already been made for the SUNSS users. Usually, only one button can be selected at a time. To select an option, use the mouse to click the circle beside the desired choice.




A dropdown or list box is a field that has the capabliity to show you a list of all the possible values that could be entered in that field. It can be identified by the downward pointing triangle on the right end. To display the list of possible choices, click on the triangle. Use the mouse to select the appropriate choice from the list that drops down. If there are many items in the list a scroll bar will appear for you to use to view the options that are not visible. Once the desired option is highlighted, click on it. The list will disappear and the selected option will be displayed in the box.




Checkboxes offer two or more options from which to choose. Usually more that one option can be selected at a time. To select an option, use the mouse to click on the box beside the desired choice, or choices. To deselect an option, click on the selected checkbox.



A Checkbox may also indicate a yes/no or true false condition. A checked box indicates the condition is true.




A link can be either text or a picture. When you drag your mouse over it, the pointer turns into your browser's link indicator. If you click on the link you are moved to the document or location specified by the link.
