Selections

A selection is a named set of IDs of the same record type. It has a name and description and is often used as input into a process or report as a means to specify which set of records should be acted on by that process. For example, the "Acknowledge Revenue" process accepts a selection as a parameter and acknowledges previously unacknowledged gifts only for records included in that selection. Because selections consist only of IDs (rather than output fields), they are optimized for peak processing speed.
