# Navigation Trees for Resources

Use the navigation trees that appear on many function windows to select data for inclusion in a job definition or select a resource for configuration.

Note that check boxes outlined in yellow are selectable, check boxes outlined in black are not selectable. The center of the selection check box turns red, indicating that the resource has been explicitly selected for backup. Anything subordinate to it in the tree structure, referred to as a descendant, is automatically selected. The center of the selection check box of each descendant resource turns gold, indicating that it has been selected, though not explicitly. The center of the selection check box of each ancestor resource turns half red diagonally, indicating that a resource descendant to it has been explicitly selected for backup.

{% hint style="info" %}
<mark style="color:blue;">**Tip.**</mark> On some windows, such as configuration windows, you can make multiple selections by holding \[Ctrl + click] or holding \[Shift + click] for a selection range.
{% endhint %}

Each checkbox changes in its visual appearance to indicate the following states:

<table><thead><tr><th width="202.33333333333331">Checkbox borders</th><th width="187">Checkbox inside</th><th>State of the item</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Black</td><td>Gray fill</td><td>This resource is not selectable at this level.</td></tr><tr><td>Yellow</td><td>White fill</td><td>This resource is selectable, but not selected.</td></tr><tr><td>Yellow</td><td>Half red center diagonally</td><td>At least one descendant of this selectable resource is selected. No descendants of the selections are explicitly excluded.</td></tr><tr><td>Yellow</td><td>Red fill</td><td>This resource is explicitly selected. There are no exclusions among its descendants.</td></tr><tr><td>Black</td><td>Gold fill</td><td>This resource is included implicitly in the selection, because an ancestor was explicitly selected. A user cannot explicitly exclude it.</td></tr><tr><td>Yellow</td><td>Gold fill</td><td>This resource is included implicitly in the selection. It is not excluded, but a user can explicitly exclude it.</td></tr></tbody></table>
