Or in any way 'Mark'

You have some options

• Provide a button or link within the line to complete the operation on the line item
• Provide a checkbox within the row, then select the selected window One tool for operating a group of things
• A combination of the above (some operations - for example 'see detail' - do not work in the grouping method)

Links will be good for examples of 'usable' lists.

Only three or four commands on the off-on, maybe you have all the buttons and links in each line This allows the user to provide a faster way to execute single-line commands - during a click-per-action optional selection-action model requires two clicks, though there are some ideas.

• Selection-action may be improved to execute the same action on multiple lines. If some of these actions delay (for example, after removing the table takes another or two to refresh) or a dialog box (for example, to download a user, to download a local folder

• When you have only a few commands, then in the future, with regard to future versions, how many you have to consider or in other pages of the app (H However, insert, cut, copy, paste new). You want to be consistent with the interior For five or more commands the lines of repetitive controls can be very tight.

If you go with selection, you should apply other interaction features to make it work really fine.

• Do not use the check box, which can be confused with the record attribute instead of a selected state. To indicate selection, use any highlighting of the entire row or line icon.

• Selecting multi-select, clicking ctrl-click, shift, and dragging the selection box (later two select-action comparison of in-line controls for multiple items Allows to be fast) Note that some users do not know these conventions, so if multi-select is a part of the normal workflow that non-power users have to do, consider a completely different UI.

• Use the Delete key to remove support shortcuts, such as Records and right-click context menu, which contains all the actions.

As far as selection, in-action, see details In any case, in any case, the functional identifier of records in a link (as the identifier is edited There is no need to do it), or it is supported in control by allowing the user to click on the record icon twice (the latter is an expert activation, which should be meaningless with a button).

I'm not clear what the "mark" means. Set a flag? It seems like the specialty of a record whether you use in-line for selection tasks or other tasks, that means marking should be done with a checkbox in the table row so that the user both see and set the value Able to do
