A Multiple Select is a type of input node that allows you to request your end user to select one or more options from a list of choices.
Unlike other nodes, in a Multiple Select node, end users can select more than one answer. It is important to keep this in mind when building logic. For more detailed guidance, you can explore this tutorial.
Configuration options
- Below the content field, you can add (1), delete (2), and rearrange (3) options. Rearrange the order of your options using the six dot icon to drag and drop the options into their desired positions.
- As an alternative to adding answer options manually, use options from collections. As an example, this can enable your end user to choose an item from a list of values taken from a database. Click on the three-dot icon [] (4) to choose this option.
You can also use entries from an Excel sheet as answer options. You can achieve this by uploading your Excel file into a database and then reading the relevant entries into your module as a collection. Afterward, you can use options from collections in your Multiple Select node.
Design and display options
- By default, the selection options are displayed to your end user as a vertical list. Alternatively, you can choose to display the options in a dropdown menu (8) or as a horizontal list (9) by activating the respective toggle switch when configuring your node.
If you have more than five options, we recommend activating the Display list as a dropdown toggle switch.
General input node options
- You can enter and format text, as well as insert images, files, videos, and more in the CONTENT field (A).
- Add labels (B) to enable end users with accessibility needs, e.g., people with visual impairment, to navigate the wizard confidently with screen readers.
- Make an answer optional via Optional input (C) to allow the end user to skip and not choose an answer.
- Preselect an answer or provide a default answer by choosing a Default value (D). You can also use a text field from a collection as default values by clicking the link icon. Answer options that have an identical item in the collection are pre-selected.
- To repeat the question multiple times and collect answers in a collection, enable Allow multiple responses (E).
- You also can display a document at the right hand side of your node, using Document View (F).
