Dropdown

This topic describes the options and limitations available when using a Dropdown component.

Content settings

Label
Use this setting to specify exactly what text displays as the label (if a label is shown), and what the source of that text is.
Note: The option to display or not display a label is on the Style tab.
Display Value
This setting specifies what data is to be used to populate the drop-down list values. In most cases, this will probably be the {In Context Value} of the data service selected for this component.

Interactions

Trigger Event
The Dropdown component can trigger these events:
  • On Selection Changed

    This event is triggered when the selection of a record in the list changes.

  • On Load

    This event might display as one of these values:

    • Data Service has run (On Load), where Data Service is the name of a data service assigned to the component
    • On Load (No Data Service), where no data service has been assigned to the component
Target Action
Depending on the target, the Dropdown component can perform a Get operation, a Run operation, or a Clear operation on the target component.

Style settings

Style
These settings include these options:
  • Show Label

    This setting determines whether a label is to display with the component.

  • Disabled

    When this option is selected, the component is disabled and read-only.

    To disable the component conditionally, click the lock icon next to this check box.

    See Setting conditional component disablement.
