Multiselection list
Multiselection list is used when we want to emphasize that it is possible to select several items from a list at the same time. Typically, there is an operation going on that expects one or more items as input. An example of this is when the user is creating a group, and a list of names is offered as a multiselection list.
In a multiselection list, the user can browse the items and check and uncheck any number of them. The state of each item is indicated in a checkbox adjacent to the item. When the user accepts the list, information about the marked items is passed to the application.
Items are checked and unchecked using the Select key, and the list is accepted with the left softkey Done. Note that unlike in a markable list, the Options softkey is not available – one can only check and uncheck items, and then accept or cancel the list.
