Using multi-select fields

2. Select the check box for the desired value. Multiple values can be selected.
3. To narrow the list, use the Search field. As data is entered, the list narrows by items that begin with the information entered. 
4. To select all values in the list, select the Select All check box. To clear all values, clear the check box.
5. To close the list, click outside of the list.
   

Using the drop-down calendar

1. In a date field, click the field label, and then change the search option to a Date Range level. For example, On. The Calendar icon appears.
2. Click the Calendar icon to open the drop-down calendar. The current month and year are displayed by default.
   
3. Select a date from the calendar. Dates in the current month display in bold font, while dates in the next or previous month display in regular font. Any date can be selected.
   
4. To move to the previous or next month, click the Prev or Next buttons.
   
5. To enter the current date, click Now.
6. To close the drop-down calendar without selecting a date, click Done.
   
   TIP: When a date is directly entered, the specified date is highlighted in the calendar. This can be useful for learning what day of the week the selected date was on.
