Dropdown Properties

There are two ways to populate the drop-down list so that users can select the correct drop-down property value.

  1. Select a workflow that will run when this Form launches.
  2. Create a static list of items.
note

This is not the same Workflow used for the Form we are building, but a different one specifically for populating this field. This Workflow will return a two-column table with this table variable in a Self Service Response activity.  

The first column is the ID. The ID is the actual value used in the activity, and the second value is the Name, which appears on the list.

Take these steps to select a Workflow:

  1. Click the Name radio button.
  2. Type the name of the desired Workflow to find it in the list.
  3. Select the desired Workflow.
    When the Form launches, the Workflow selected will run first, and the Result of that Workflow will populate the dropdown list available to the user.
note

Use this option if the list you want to generate is dynamic and subject to change.

Take these steps to create a static list of items:

  1. Click the List Items radio button.
  2. Type the option names that you want on the list.
  3. Press Enter or click the enter icon to add the item to the list.
  4. If you wish to delete the item, click the Delete icon.
note

Use the static list option when you do not expect the list to change and do not want to rely on an additional workflow to populate it.
