Click

"Click" is used as shorthand for "position the mouse cursor over (an object), then press and release the left mouse button." For example, the documentation may instruct the user to "click the box marked `Change password after login.`" This means to:

1. Position the mouse cursor over the box labeled "Suspend data transfers from this server."

   

2. Press, then release, the left mouse button.

   

   In this particular case, the "click" action results in checking a box. Other likely targets for a "click" action include menus, buttons, and items in a list.
