Actions on objects in a folder may be invoked in different ways. BSCW differs between:
•application of the action to several objects in parallel via
•selecting the objects by activating the check boxes on the left-hand side of the object entries, and via
•selecting the action from the multi-selection toolbar;
•application of the action to one specific object via selecting an action
entry from the object’s action menu
.
The actions of the multi-selection toolbar are generally also offered in the individual action menus of the object entries. Some actions are also offered in the top menu bar: under for the current folder and under for the current selection of object entries.
