Is it possible on the GUI to delete multiple records?
On our system we have a list of people that the client can add then they submit these.
In some cases after entering say 10 names they may want to delete 5 but they have to do this on an indivual basis at present and is time consuming. Is there a way to select multiple records and delete them?

Just make a process deletes clients & make sure that client is a process input.
Then you put this process in your list of operations allowed for the query & make sure to indicate that the process can be used for multiple instances.

1- Make a process: DELETE Client.
Make sure that Client is Process Input
2- Make a Query that lists Client instances
3- Put process from #1 as an operation to #2. In the Applicability box of the operation, check "applicable to multiple items"
Now run the query.

You don't even need a process. You can define a "Delete" operation for any query and make sure the operation is "applicable to multiple items"

Nope still not with you at the moment.
OK what I have is a query -
FIND Temp WHERE Temp.AgencyCode=LoggedInSystemUser.LoginName AND Temp.PROTECTION='No'
This returns all the Temp staff I have just entered ready to be submitted. As an example I now have a list of say 10 names but I have found problems with say three of them which I want to delete.
What I have to do at present is highlight them one at a time but I want to make multiple selections then delete.
Hope that makes sense?

Do you know how to define/edit an operation on a query?

tell a lie I do.... I just fail to see how I can make multiple selections from the list to delete.
Oe are you saying it will have the delete button on the left side of the record so I would still have to press delete 3 times?

yep it is simple stuff when it works
I have a delete operation in my query that is applicable to multi items but I can still only select one at a time

What build are you running? Do you have Delete operation as "below the list"
