Select Component

The Select component inserts a drop-down list on a form that includes a search field. You determine the number of items and the labels for each item in the list.

Settings

The settings for each component are grouped under tabs. While there are multiple tabs and many fields, some are applicable to advanced users (for example, the API and Conditional tabs and JSON fields) and you do not need to complete them to render the component. For this reason, the settings that are necessary are detailed for each component. In some cases, when an optional field is frequently used, it is listed in a second optional settings table. For tabs and fields that are not listed, advanced users are assumed to have pre-existing knowledge of how to work with them if they elect to apply them; however, they should be aware that the fields may not be compatible with WebEOC. Contact the Juvare Support Center at +1 (877) 771-0911 for additional information.
