# Selection and Deselection of Objects

## Selecting Metrics

Selectable metrics are listed in the list view under the heading Object List. The metrics can be selected in two ways or inserted into the current object *(e.g. chart)*.

1. Drag & Drop
2. Clicking the *Select* button

With Drag & Drop, the desired metric must be dragged with the left mouse button *(mobile devices: tapped with one finger)* to the right onto the corresponding free field or onto the current object and then released. After releasing, the metric is inserted into the current object and the display is subsequently updated.

When clicking the *Select* button, each object in the list view is equipped with a corresponding helper button on the right side. It can be identified by the icon with the three dots. By pressing this button, a corresponding selection of options is displayed. These options include, for example, *Select* or *Deselect*. In this case, the entry *Select* should be selected.

## Deselecting Metrics

The inserted metrics are listed in the list view under the heading *Selected*. Only metrics listed here can be deselected. Deselecting a metric is done in the same way as with the *Select* button. In this case, the entry *Deselect* should be selected.

## Editing Metrics

Similar to deselection, only metrics listed under the heading *Selected* can be edited. Editing a metric is done in the same way as deselection, with the difference that in this case you select the *Edit* entry. A dialog then opens in which the properties of the metric's display can be changed.

## Selecting Custom Objects

Selecting custom objects is done by left-clicking on the desired object.
