In the LADM Data Model, some fields are presented as 'dropdown' fields in the interface.
A 'dropdown' is a field that has a number of pre-set options that can be selected for populating that field (rather than a free text field).
In Platform, these types of fields are called Option Lists.
Each Option List has a List ID.
The pre-set options for an Option List are called Option IDs
In Platform, where a fields is a 'dropdown', you will be able to clickthrough to see the "Options" that are available for a field:
If you click through to the Options on Property Primary Use, for example, you get:
The Primary Usage List has a List ID of 1140
The 4 Options available in that list have Option IDs 1000, 1001, 1002 and 1003:
The List IDs and the Option IDs are important ingredients in writing conditional logic to govern the behaviour of fields in your journey.
Configuring your Options List
The LADM Data Model is pre-set with available Options for each Options List. You are able to configure your lists in the following ways:
Hide List Options
You are able to hide List Options simply by clicking the "Hidden" tickbox on an Option Item. In the following example, a lender only wants a certain set of available Residential Property Types to be available options in their journey, so they have hidden all the ineligible options:
You are able to unclick "Show Hidden" to see only the approved list:
Note: If you need to ADD a new Option in a list, you will need to make a request to Simpology to have it added.
Re-order List Options
You are able to re-order List Options so that the most relevant options appear at the top of your list and/or the order makes the most sense. To do this, you simply click the "Move" icon on the left of a List Option and Drag into place where you would like it ordered in the List. In this example, I want to make "Fully Detached House" the first (most relevant) option in my Residential Type List.
To do this, make sure Platform is in draft, and navigate to the Residential Type Option List. Click on the Move Icon for Full Detached House and drag to the top of the list:
This will then re-order the list so that Fully Detached House is the first option presented in the dropdown in your journey.
Change the name of a List Option
You are able to change the on-screen name of a List Option.
To do this, find the List Option that you want to re-name, and write your updated Option List title in "Override Text". In this example, I have change the Name of Fully Detached House to "Freestanding House":
Once published, the on-screen Option List name will update.
