Make Selection with Checkbox Column
As of the Kendo UI R2 2017 SP1 release, the selection of columns with checkboxes is a built-in feature for the Grid.
For earlier versions, refer to the following example. It demonstrates how to select a Grid row by using a checkbox, preserve the selection between pages, and get the IDs of the selected items from all pages.
<div id="grid"></div>
<button id="showSelection">Show selected IDs</button>
