Select

Select, a basic element, allows you to create a list of options to appear in a menu. Like radio buttons, only one of the options can be selected.

When creating a select element you will be asked for:

• Table Field: (required) the table field the information provided will apply to
• Label: (required) the identifier of the element in the overview
• Class: (optional) HTML class attribute for the element
• Select box values: give a label (text shown to the user) and a value (text returned to platform)
  • Selected: decide if an option is pre-selected
  • Drag or Delete: either drag to desired position or delete option
• Force value validation: decide if a radio button must be selected. For more information, refer to the Validation topic.

Note: Forms can only have one element per table field

Adding a "Please select..." Option

You can add a Please select... label by adding the text as a label, but providing no value. This can then be selected as the pre-selected option, combined with validation to 'force value', so a different option is selected.

Importing a CSV File

You can import a CSV file to elements that allow multiple labels and values.

The file has to contain column headings, and must have 'value', 'label' and 'selected'. The headings are not case sensitive, and the values for selected must be 0 or 1, ensuring that the 1 is selected.

If all the conditions are met, the form will update and can then be saved.
