I’m working on a touchscreen app in Perspective and users need to be able to select multiple rows of a table. On a desktop, you could hold CTRL and click to do this easily enough but on a touchscreen that isn’t really doable. Is there an out of the box way to select multiple rows (while on a touchscreen) or would something need to be custom built to accommodate this?  
Thanks in advance for your help!
