Attention!

The protel Air upgrade in Summer 2020 brought about changes to the user interface and also to many functions.

You can find the updated instructions for them in the new protel Air Online Help.

Please note: The migration process is still ongoing. Therefore you may still be able to use some functions as described in this Online Help.

For this reason, we will not delete this Online Help yet.

Multiple selection

In This Topic ShowHide

This is how you use the multiple selection

Examples of use

By selecting the multiple selection function, it is possible to include numerous elements from a list in one work step. This will save time, as you don’t have to repeat the process for every element in the list. You can simply select as many elements as you like and apply the function to all.

This is how you use the multiple selection

Keep the Control-key (“CTRL”) pressed on your key board and click on (any number of) elements in the list that you would like to work with using your left mouse button in order to select them for further editing.

If you click on the marked list element while keeping the Ctrl-key depressed, it will be removed from the selection. As soon as you release the Control-key and click again, the entire selection is removed.

Another possibility for doing multiple selections is to depress the shift key and to use the mouse to mark the part of a list you would like to select. When keeping the Shift-key pressed, all elements from the between the first and last selected elements will be marked.

This multiple selection of elements is available in all active lists as well as in invoice and reservation dialogs and will support you in the following processes:

Group check-in
Group check-out
Multiple selection of invoice items (cancellation, rebook, invoice split)
Multiple selection of reservations (cancellation, data retrieval: print, clipboard)
Multiple selection of rooms (change room status)
Multiple selection of cancelled reservations

Note: If you’d like to use the multiple selection in combination with the context menu, please note the following:

Select all items by pressing and holding the Ctrl/Shift keys.
With the right mouse button, click on one of the elements

Examples of use

Group Check-in

A multiple selection in the Arrivals list can be very useful to check in travel groups or several guests at the same time.

Pull items to a different invoice

The multiple selection also comes in handy when working in the invoice dialog.

By selecting several items in the invoice, you can drag & drop items from one invoice into another.

Move items

Or you select a certain number of invoice items and post them to an invoice of another company or guest.
