Select multiple items from drop down

Would be great if users can select multiple items from drop down. Now you can either select the parent or the child of a list, but not a selection of children. Our users are organized in clusters of items. So when they need to update or export data they need to do child by child.

  • Hi,
    you may try to create a selection module with a boolean Line Item you call select.

    Then the users will click / unclick the select line item for the list element they are willing to update. 

    Add a filter to your module to display only items that are selected.

    That will require your users to refresh their dahsboard after selecting / unselecting. But that will do the job for dashboards.

    Your can use this trick for exporting as well . some exprts can be filtered the same way.
    Kind regards.

  • Hi,
    Two more ideas :
    make sure to manage the "show all if nothing is selected". Add other line items (booleans) and play with the Any / All summary option to to this.

    select the parent level with the same logic, and use a lookup to select the children of (/from)  the selected parent.

    Kind regards.
