Actions on objects in a folder may be invoked in different ways. BSCW distinguishes between
• simultaneous application of the action to several objects by
o Marking the objects by clicking on the corresponding check boxes on the left side of the object entries and
o Selection of the desired action in the multi-selection toolbar;
• Apply the action to a single object by selecting the action from the context menu .
The actions of the multiple selection toolbar are generally also offered in the individual context menus of the object entries. Some actions are also offered in the upper menu bar for the current folder or under
a selected selection of object entries.
