Number of Items in a Collection or Sub-Collection

I would like to count the number of items in a specific collection or sub-collection. But I am not able to find how to display this number.

After some experimentation, I just found out that selecting ALL items solves the problem. But there is NO menu-item "Select All" to select all items at once. Therefore, this operation becomes cumbersome on a larger collection (e.g. in a systematic review).

I have tried Right Click on Collection => Generate Report
But it does NOT provide the count.

Suggested New Function:
Right Click on Collection => Statistics (or Count)
Generate a summary or a count of the items in the collection.

Alternatively: Menu item "Select All"
  • Ctrl/cmd + a works for select all as in any app
  • Indeed, that works. Thank you.

    I found it now also in the top Edit Menu. Unfortunately, I tried only right clicking on the collection, or on the table with the records and on an item: the menus that pop up for those situations did not have the "Select All" command.
  • Select All is in the Edit menu in pretty much all apps, and is always bound to Cmd/Ctrl-A. It's not usually an option on the list items.

    But note that you can also just click on the collection and look at the count in the right-hand pane. You don't actually have to use Select All. (If you've already clicked on an item, you would have to deselect it or click to another collection and back.)
  • Indeed! My fault. Strangely, I think I looked initially n the wrong place and did not realize it. And afterwards I was too focused on the menus.
