For actions that can be applied to several objects in parallel:

Select  Edit    Select all   in the top menu bar for selected objects to select all entries in the folder page; this is the same than clicking in the selection menu bar;

select  Edit    Select none   to de-select all entries in the page; this is the same than clicking in the selection menu bar;

or

select the appropriate menu entry in the selection menu bar for selected objects to trigger the action.

If you select an object for an action that cannot be performed on this particular object, or on the class of objects, BSCW will perform the action only on those objects where the action is "legitimate".

 catch up  

indicates to BSCW that you have taken note of the current events (i. e., the actions on the selected objects) and that you do not want to be reminded of them any longer. The event icons in the selected entries are removed.

Note:

 catch up   on a folder is applied recursively to the complete contents of the folder and its subfolders.

As a shortcut,  catch up   affects all objects in a folder when none is selected. Thus, the effect is identical to selecting the  File    Catch up   action in the top menu bar.

 send  

lets you send the selected objects and -- recursively -- their contents as email attachments or fax the selected objects. For email distribution recipients may be selected from your address book; their fax number or their email address may also be entered in the form

The  send   entry brings you to a form for distribution via email, where you as well may select fax distribution.

Note:

The  send   entry is only available when the BSCW server has been configured for email or fax distribution from the BSCW server administrator.

 copy  

puts a copy of the selected objects into your clipboard (more in section 3.6.1).

 cut  

transfers the selected objects to your clipboard (more in section 3.6.1).

 delete  

transfers the selected objects to your wastebasket (more in section 3.6.2).

 archive  

packs the selected objects into a .tar or .zip archive file. This function is particularly useful if you want to download a document that in its original format would be displayed by your Web browser, or a large number of documents (more in section 4.13).

 rate  

lets you rate the quality of the document or the object referenced by the URL on a 5-point scale (more in section 3.4.4.2).

 fetch  

stores the (HTML-)contents of a URL in your workspace.

 verify  

checks the availability of a URL.

 evaluate  

generates or updates a document set (more in section 4.16).
