About Multiselect Content
Multiselect content allows users to select multiple items simultaneously from a list or a set of options in response to a question or prompt set by the app creator. It differs from a multiple-choice content type by enabling the user to choose several items at once rather than being limited to a single selection.
The multiselect content type can display options to the user in 6 different formats:
Default: Shows options in a regular list format.
Icon Select: Presents options with both text and an icon.
Icon Only Select: Shows only icons for options, no text to go with them.
Grid Icon Select: Options are shown in a grid layout with icons and text
Grid Icon Only Select: Options are shown in a grid layout with icons only, no text
Tag Cloud: Options are displayed like tags in grouping on the page
Checkbox: Shows options with checkboxes for multiple selections.
Note: Horizontal slider & vertical slider are legacy options, to use a slider functionality please utilise the “Slider” content type.
How to use it
To use this content type, simply:
Create a new content block by clicking the Create new content block button
Assign a Data Label to the content block
Select MULTISELECT as the content type
Fill in the user-facing label for this content type (this is the label that the user will see and read)
Limit the number of options a user can select (if required) by ticking Max selections and assigning a number. (The maximum number of choices or options that can be selected from a given set)
Choose how you’d like your options to be displayed to the user (from DEFAULT, ICON_SELECT, ICON_ONLY_SELECT, GRID_ICON_SELECT, GRID_ICON_ONLY_SELECT, TAG_CLOUD, or CHECKBOX)
Add Options by giving each one a data label, a user-facing label, and an icon (if applicable)
If this is part of a scored survey, you will need to assign a score to any options that it may apply to
