Select rows

Row selection is the gateway to every bulk action in Foundation — edit, delete, move, export. Select first, then act on the whole set. The grid supports click, keyboard, and tree-aware selection shortcuts.

  1. Click anywhere on the row (outside an editable cell).
  2. A blue left border and the select bar at the bottom of the grid confirm the selection.
  3. Click the row again to deselect it.
  1. Click the first row.
  2. Shift-click the last row.
  3. Every row between them is added to the selection, including collapsed children that become visible when you expand.
  1. Click one row.
  2. Cmd-click (macOS) or Ctrl-click (Windows / Linux) any other row to toggle it.
  3. Repeat to build up a non-contiguous selection.
  • Shift + Space — toggle the currently focused row.
  • Cmd / Ctrl + A — select every visible row.
  • Shift + C — add every descendant of the current selection (the select bar shows the +N child count).
  • Delete or Backspace — remove every selected row (see Bulk delete).

When a parent row is selected, the select bar shows a Select Children button with the number of selectable descendants. Click it to add every child, grandchild, and deeper descendant. Click again to toggle them back off.

This is the fastest way to operate on a whole epic, program, or Flex Item group.

Once two or more rows are selected, the select bar at the bottom of the lens shows:

  • Count of selected rows.
  • Status breakdown dots (To Do / In Progress / Done).
  • Total story points for the selection.
  • Overdue count in red if any date has slipped.
  • Buttons for Change status, Change priority, Change assignee.

Expand the bar (chevron on the right) to see full metric cards and any insight chips Foundation has detected.
