Dropdown
A pick-one-from-a-list control. It outputs whichever option is currently selected, so the rest of the model can react to a choice, such as a region or a scenario name, instead of a typed value. Drop it onto a dashboard form to give reviewers a clean switch between views.
Inputs
| Input | Accepts | Required |
|---|---|---|
Options | Series (a list of numbers) | Optional |
Outputs
| Output | Produces |
|---|---|
Value | Any |
Settings
Typed in on the node or set by the assistant, not wired.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Options | System.String[] | The list of choices shown in the dropdown. You can also feed it a column, for example the distinct regions from a table. |
SelectedIndex | 0 | Which option is currently selected, counting from 0. |
Example
Set the options to EMEA, AMER, APAC and connect the Dropdown's value to a
Switch that maps each region to its growth assumption: EMEA 0.04, AMER 0.06,
APAC 0.09. Picking a region from the list swaps the assumption through the whole
plan in one click.
