What is the "fillable circle" used for

The dark gray circle to the far left seen on many pages, like the roster, fills in with a white color when clicked. OK. Why? How is it used? Searched Google, tried F1, read manual and I can't find reference to it.

It has to be a tool to make something easier to do or something new to do but unless I read what it is used for it is of no help. Thx in advance.

It's a selection option where you can select one or multiples of items (such as players) do to certain tasks easier.

Group promotions, group demotions, group player releases, offer multiple MiLB FA contracts, etc.

"select all" when you click top-most "radio button"

when you right-click to do something with a selection, it says "X Players..." at top of context menu instead of an indivudual's name. useful for double-checking

Thx all who responded. I clicked three players on my roster to test it and I could not figure out the "select all" on top-most radio button. I clicked 3 players in a row then right clicked the radio button and there was no context menu,

I cleared all then went to top most radio button and again no "select all" on a right click or left click (left click just is on/off, of course).

I did see where the right click showed "X # of players selected" on right click menu.

Could you please again explain the "select all" --tried various ways and no can do. Thx very much again to all who responded.

right-click the player name like you normally would do. may not be a clickable area over the radial or stats/ratings etc.

Tag Controls

I have already used the Tag Controls (Mass Select) and retired a few hundred useless elderly players in my game. This a an example of using the tool. The two main things I do with it is to promote/demote players when I am cleaning up rosters after the draft/ST and offering multiple MiLB contracts to FA.

they need to implement Shift-click for selections... like how it works in the windows file explorer / folder views etc. and most any program in windows, actually.

that would be very useful... ctrl-click is already available with radio buttons, so that's not needed... sometimes i want to click these 5 then skip a couple than another block of names etc... clicking 30 times in that situation is not efficient.

I use it to mass select players I want to lock to a minor league level. I can then use the AI to promote and demote with my blessing while leaving the players I don't want to be moved alone.
