If enabled, you can select all values by clicking the Select All Values icon .

If only one value is selected in a marker-backed QuickView that does not allow All Values, you cannot clear the selected value.

QuickView settings can specify that users can select either a single value, multiple values, or all values. If you set more that one value, the number of selected values appears on the left side of the collapsed list.

If selecting multiple values is allowed, be sure that the check mark appears for each value that you want to include. A value that displays with a Closedhighlight but no check mark, is not selected. You can use Ctrl+Click (Windows) or Command-Click (macOS) to highlight multiple values, and then select or clear their selection as a group.

NOTE: If the QuickView is defined in a marker and was originally created as a combo box, pull-down, or free entry, users can select a single value only.

Settings can also specify that the QuickView list is expanded by default, similar to a picklist.

Clicking the expand arrow enables a Selection Option menu, that you can use to take action on items in the QuickView list.
