Case Information Displays: Using Cell Handles

When selected, cells corresponding to enterable and toggleable fields exhibit a small filled square in their bottom right corner called a cell handle. The cell handle may be used to propagate the value of the selected cell to other cells in the same field.

Suppose we have selected a toggleable or enterable cell and that we wish to copy its value to other records. Call this cell the source cell and its value the source value. To copy the source value to another record or records, perform the following steps:

• Drag the mouse onto the cell handle until the pointer becomes a crosshair.
• With the mouse pointer showing as a crosshair, click and hold the left mouse button.
• With the left mouse button depressed, drag the mouse up or down from the source cell to select a group of records to which to copy the source value. These destination cells will display a yellow background when selected in this manner.
• When you have finished selecting the destination cells, release the left mouse button.
• A message box will appear asking whether you want to change the values of the destination cells to the source value. Answer Yes to complete the copy.
