Dropdown Edit Box

Use dropdown edit boxes to provide a list of options for the user to select from. A dropdown edit box displays an options list, but also allows the user to type an alternative custom value.

To Add a Dropdown Edit  Box:

  1. Click Dropdown Edit Box and drag it to the workspace.
  2. Click the Field property and assign a field ID.
  3. Reposition and resize as needed.

Note: If you assign a field ID that contains options assigned by Encompass360 (such as field 601, Subject Property Building Status), the options display when you open the Dropdown Options Editor. You can change the Text but not the Value of an option. You also cannot add or delete an option.

To Create the Options List:

  1. Click the Options property, and then click .
  2. On the Dropdown Options Editor window, type the name of the option in the Text text box, and then
    click Add.

By default, the same name is added to the Value text box.

  1. Repeat step 2 to add additional options to the options list.
  2. To allow the user to leave the field empty, select Include empty option at top of list.
  3. Click OK.

The options will display below the dropdown box when the user selects the field. The user may also type an alternative option in the field.
