Portuguese term or phrase: "Colocar o pisco"
Hello.

This expression appears in a Brazilian-Portuguese text. And I wanna make sure I get the meaning right.

"Colocar o pisco nos campos indicados."

The context is related to webservices. I believe it is something like "Selecting the checkboxes".

Could someone confirm that? Or offer a better/more accurate translation, by all means.

Thanks.

Explanation:
Is the word 'pisco' an aberration of 'aquele que pisca' and therefore a cursor? If so I think the writer of the original text needs a spanking for inventing words that do not exist...
