Selecting a node

There are two ways of selecting nodes in the Network tree.

Simple selection

It is used to perform operations such as deleting nodes or moving them between groups.

It’s done in the same manner as in Windows Explorer: using rectangle selection with the mouse or keyboard Shift, Ctrl, and the arrow keys.

The selected nodes are highlighted with a blue background:

TNI Simple Selection

This type of selection doesn’t affect other workspace areas in any way.

Selection for processing

This selection mode is used to select nodes tfor use in Scanner mode, Common reports, Table reports, Software accounting, Change log, and Edit modes.

The Network tree has two selection modes: Single selection and Multiple selection. Press the Multiple selection button  located to the right of the root node to switch between modes.

Single selection

Active when the Multiple selection box is unchecked.

Only one node or group can be selected at a time. To select it, simply click the node. The selected node is highlighted with a blue rectangle:

While in Single selection mode, you can quickly select the next or previous node in the tree: Alt + arrow up/down.

Multiple selection

Active when the Multiple selection box is checked.

Each node will receive a checkbox, and the nodes are selected by checking their checkboxes:

You can check or uncheck checkboxes either with the mouse or by selecting the nodes using Single selection and pressing the space bar.

Selecting a group in the Single selection mode is the same as selecting all assets in this group and its subgroups in the Multiple selection mode.Reports are generated for all assets in the single selected group and editing will affect all assets in it, so you don’t need to enable the Multiple selection mode to build reports for entire groups. The only exception is the Group summary mode, which displays information about the group itself and is not available in the Multiple selection mode.

Nodes selected using Simple selection can be selected for processing by using the Choose option from the context menu.
