Add range selection (shift + click) to List views; at minimum, on Customers -> List
It is currently possible to multi-select customers from the Customers -> List screen by checking the boxes. Selecting the entire view is easy with the "select all" box in the top left.
It is frustrating to select smaller groups of customers, like 10 of them, then skip 5, and then select 20 more; this requires a lot of clicking of individual boxes and takes a long time.
I suggest adding a "hold shift while clicking" feature to allow a "range select." Check first box to select a customer; hold shift and click the final customer, and all of them between would also be checked/selected. This same functionality would be welcome on any screen with a List that has a "mass Actions" feature.

Hi @bwm-dc ,
Thank you for your suggestion. While our platform currently offers several options for sorting and selecting customers, we do not have plans to implement the "hold shift while clicking" feature you described. This functionality is quite complex and falls outside our current development plans.
We appreciate your understanding and value your feedback as we continue to enhance our platform.
Best regards,

Vitalii,
That is disappointing to hear, as I think it is something that would save a lot of time for many of your customers. It is one of those "small but very useful" features. However, I understand that development resources are limited, and you obviously have to prioritize more impactful changes.
The open-source NetBox project implemented this functionality about 2 years ago and it is a major time-saver when selecting a bunch of items in a list, without selecting the entire list. It looks like the work to implement this is just JavaScript, but I'm not sure how applicable that would be to Splynx's front-end code.
Cheers,
Braden McGrath
