Menu : Selection
Command : Store the selection
Keyboard shortcut :
Icon :
This command is for saving the current selection.
The benefit of storing allows for the instant loading of a group of records relative to one or several criteria.
Important notice:
It is important that you keep in mind that the storing of a selection represents the image of a group of records at the precise moment that it is registered.
If the records represented by the selection are modified, this image becomes obsolete.
The use of a stored selection is therefore limited for frequently active files.
Consequently, you can store the selections where the contents vary a little or quite simply for a short period.
Note that this command does not stock the field values but the internal reference of the records. This technique allows for, on one hand the storing practically without delay, and on the other hand, a saving of space on the support (a stored selection takes up less that 10Ko for hundreds of thousands of records).
