• a yellow-colored box: all items in the contents- based list are locked as well;
• a blue-colored box: the item is unselected;
• a half blue, half yellow-colored box: some content-based ratings are selected/unselected.
When All has been selected, all items in the age- based and in the contents-based lists are locked. If, while All is selected, any other item, either an age-based or content-based item, is unselected, then All is automatically unselected.
None is the selection for items that either have no rating information or have a rating of None. Both will be locked.
When an item on the age-based list is selected, all items below that item of the same group are locked as well.
When you select a content-based rating, all identical content-based ratings in the younger age- based categories are also selected.
