Multi Select Mode (iHomeServer Web Access)
iHomeServer Web Access allows you to perform operations on multiple tracks at once - for example, you can AutoTag an entire TV episode, or add several files to your favorite playlist at once. Most iHomeServer Web Access views will have a button called 'Multi Select' in the top right hand corner:
Pressing this button will toggle multiselect mode and change the view to resemble the following:
The key features are summarised below:

This button will normally say 'Multiselect' which triggers Multiselect mode. If you are already in Multiselect mode, then the button will show 'Single Select' and cancel you out of multiselect mode.

AutoTag Tab Button
The AutoTag Tab Button will first prompt you whether you are AutoTagging Movie or Television Episodes. If you select 'Movies' then iHomeserver will cycle through each of the selected tracks and search the Internet for the best matching metadata based on a number of criteria. If a match is found, iHomeServer will apply the metadata to your track and update iTunes.
If you select 'Television' then iHomeServer will prompt you to enter the TV Show and Season details. Once entered, you can then match your tracks to season episodes and then apply the changes en-masse to an entire season of television episodes.
