Select List Control Enhancements
Our select list control just got smarter! You can now use collections as a data source and filter based on other fields present on the screen, using our new AI capabilities.
Good to know: The Select List control is one of the most commonly utilized controls by our process designers.
Use a Collection as a Select List Data Source
Learn how to use a collection as a data source for select list controls. Our example uses a collection containing a list of book titles, author names and genres.
Data from this collection is presented using two dependent select list controls on a screen. When a genre is selected from the first list control, it dynamically updates the available books in the second list control.
Watch the demo below to learn how to display a list of books from a collection in a select list control, or access our interactive tour for step-by-step instructions.

Use PMQL to Create Dependent Select Lists
PMQL enables the creation of dependent select list controls, allowing the contents of a select list control to dynamically update in real-time. When a selection is made in one select list control, the available choices in another select list control will automatically adjust accordingly. Watch the demo below to learn how PMQL can be effectively used to showcase a dynamic book list that adjusts based on the selected genre.
