If any information had previously been selected, clicking on it in the Information box will allow you to change your selection. When your information is highlighted in blue, selecting a different piece of Information by clicking on its name will replace the previous selection.
For Entering Data, only one piece of information can be selected.

NOTE: The list of information can be lengthy and spread over multiple pages. By default, only the first page will be displayed.
