# Add and remove members in static selections

> How to manage members in static selections.

When you have created a static selection, you can always add additional members to that selection. This can be done from any list containing the relevant records, such as search results and section tabs.

<Tip>
  You can also [copy members from another selection][3].
</Tip>

There are simple rules for members of selections.

* Members are always unique, which means that the same record cannot be entered twice in the same selection.

* You cannot enter the same company both with and without a contact. This means that if a company is entered without a contact and you then try to enter it with a contact, the entry without a contact is removed from the selection.

## Add members to an open static selection

1. Click the **Add members** button below the list of members.

2. In the **Add all members matching** dialog, [edit the criteria][2].

3. Click **OK**. Matching members are added to the selection.

## Add members to existing static selection

Use this option to add the selected records to an existing static selection.

1. Go to a list of the records you want to add to a selection (search results or a section tab).

2. Select one or more records on the list.

   To add several records, use **Shift** or **Ctrl** + click.

3. Right-click the records and select **Add to selection** on the menu that appears.

4. Select **Add to existing static selection**. Specify the required selection by clicking the arrow and selecting the required selection in the displayed list box, or by typing in the whole or the beginning of the selection name.

   <Note>
     The list of selections is limited to:

     * Existing *static* selections (not dynamic selections or combined selections)

     * Selections matching the records you are adding (if you select sales, only selections of sales are displayed)

     If the list is empty, there are no existing selections of this type.
   </Note>

5. Click **OK**. The selection is updated.

## Add members to new static selection

1. Go to a list of the records you want to add to a selection (search results or a section tab).

2. Select one or more records on the list.
