| Element | Description |
|---|---|

Parent Elements
| Element | Description |

Remarks
You can use selection sets when you have a set of related objects that you want to reference by using a single name, such as a set of objects that are related through inheritance. When defining your views, you can specify the set of objects by using the name of the selection set instead of listing all the objects within each view.
Common selection sets are specified by their name when defining the views of the formatting file or
the definitions of the views. In these cases, the SelectionSetName child element of the
ViewSelectedBy and EntrySelectedBy elements specifies the set to be used. For more information
about selection sets, see Defining Sets of Objects.
