# Select Snippets Dialogue Box

Use this dialogue box to manually select the snippets that are displayed. The dialogue is displayed from the Search | Select Snippets menu option.

Snippets are displayed sorted under categories. When the dialogue box opens only the categories are shown. They can be expanded and collapsed in the usual way: by clicking the arrow symbols (or plus/minus symbols) that appear to the left of the categories, by double clicking the category or by using the Left, Right and Enter keys. Alternatively use the Expand All and Collapse All buttons on the right of the dialogue box.

Snippets are selected by placing a check mark next to the name of the required snippets. Checking or unchecking a category will select or de-select all the snippets in the category. When the dialogue box appears all snippets currently displayed by the program are pre-selected.

There are also four buttons that can be used to select or deselect groups of snippets. The options are:

- Select All
  Selects all the snippets in the database.
- Clear All
  Deselects all the snippets in the database.
- User Defined
  Selects all the user defined snippets in the database. The button will be disabled if there are no user defined snippets.
- Main
  Selects all the snippets in the main database.

When the selection has been made, click the OK button to accept the changes. At least one snippet must be selected. Click Cancel to abort your selection.

Note: Any selection made using this dialogue box will replace any search results that were previously displayed. A message to this effect will be displayed in the dialogue box if it is opened while search results are being displayed.

The main purpose of the this dialogue box is to enable you to specify precisely which snippets will be included in a generated unit. See the Generate Unit task for information about this subject.
