Row and Cell Selection in Worksheets

Key Features

• Secondary Highlight for Cell Selection: When you select a single cell, the entire row receives a secondary highlight. This indicates that the row’s properties and details are editable based on the selected cell.

• Multiple Cell Selection: If you select multiple cells (by dragging across the table), every row containing a selected cell will display a secondary highlight.

• Primary Highlight for Row Selection: Clicking the checkbox on the left side of a row selects the entire row, which then receives a primary highlight. This indicates full selection of the row.

• Editing Without Losing Selection: When you double-click a cell in a selected row (primary highlight), the row remains highlighted. You can edit the cell without losing the row selection.

• Switching Between Row and Cell Selection: If you select specific cells after previously selecting rows (with primary highlight), the previously highlighted rows are deselected. The rows containing the newly selected cells receive a secondary highlight.

• Deselecting Rows: Clicking a cell in a different, unselected row will deselect the previously highlighted row and apply a secondary highlight to the new row.

• Editing Row Properties from Cell Selection: If a cell is selected and the row shows a secondary highlight, you can edit row-level properties or details. The highlight state persists after editing.

• Consistent Behavior Across Modules: All selection and highlight behaviors are consistent in both Worksheets and Payroll Integration Preview screens.
