I was wondering if there is a way to multi-select rows in an alarm status table without clicking on each individual row check box. Our users are not happy with this. Maybe standard shift-select and ctrl-select?

Some workarounds:

PerfectAbstractions offers a way to query the internal database in their module. See [http://doc.perfectabstractions.com/modules/powerscripting/index.html#scripting-functions-ignition-runprepinternaldbquery](http://doc.perfectabstractions.com/modules/powerscripting/index.html#scripting-functions-ignition-runprepinternaldbquery)

With those queries, you should be able to use the data in your custom table, powertable or even template and give whatever user experience you want to your clients.

Alternatively, it’s also possible to access the Java internals of those components. But it might need a bit of work to figure out how to achieve multi select via that way.

Thank you. I will check out that module.
