Multiple Selector

This article explains the features of the Multiple Selector block and how it can be used to design your app.

Use Cases

1. Selecting more than one option from a predefined set of values.
2. Making all the options visible to the users.

Editing the Block

Click on the block and configure it by editing on the right panel.

Label

The label is the name of the block that the end user sees in the app.

Example: Vendor Locations (Other than HQ). 

‍

Description

The description is the additional information provided to the end user which will be displayed below the input area.

Example: Select locations from the list. 

‍

This is how the Multiple selector block with the label and the description will look to the end user.

‍

‍Display this field if

Use this if you want to show or hide a field under certain conditions. It accepts the standard Clappia Formulae, similar to conditional sections.

Allow value to be changed after initial submission

This option is enabled by default. End users can edit and change the selected option after creating a submission. Disable it if you do not want the end users to change the selected option.

Example: If the end-user has selected 3 cities and created a submission, the end user can go to the submission and select 2 more cities.
