Selecting multiple rows at a time in Map Viewer?

[GC_GIS]

I'm no longer able to select multiple rows in a table in map viewer by holding down shift.. anyone else experiencing this? It's driving me nuts.

Hmm, I feel like this has been the behavior for a while now at least (or always was?) 

I remember being frustrated with this same thing a while ago, but unfortunately I couldn't tell you exactly how far back it was.

If there is a way to do it (i.e. like how it works in ArcGIS Pro), I'd love to know!

Wow, I'm surpised (But not really) that map viewer is missing such a basic function.

Hello @GC_GIS  @Katie_Clark  , this behaviour is the same in the latest ArcGIS Enterprise, so I would say it has not recently changed in ArcGIS Online. I suspect that the Shift key has never affected selection in the Table of Map Viewer, and certainly the documentation does not say that it will.

"To select rows in the table, check the check box at the start of each row. "

Why is there no way to select multiple rows at once?

@GC_GIS , 

I can't speak to the Shift key capability, but you can still select multiple rows at once in the table by clicking and scrolling/dragging the mouse down multiple rows in the table. Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, it does allow you to select multiple rows at once pretty quickly. 

I've attached a short video of the behaviour in Map Viewer.

Thank you

😲Wow, thanks @timcneil ! Is this behavior/shortcut documented anywhere? I feel like holding shift to select multiple rows is kind of the understood/intuitive UX for selecting multiple rows (at least for windows users!) so I had no idea this was possible. 

It would be a small but appreciated improvement to incorporate the shift capabilities to match UX from ArcGIS Pro as well as Windows File Explorer, Excel, etc. that people are used to. But this is great, thanks for sharing the video as it was very helpful to see what you meant.
