Datasource: Static List

 
This example demonstrates how static data can be provided directly for the List Box control.
 
1) Select the Static List datasource type:
 
 
2) Either directly input the values that you want to display, or import them from an external location. If using the Import option, then it will take you through the Import Wizard process, and add the list of Text:Value option pairs into the Field.
 
 
Note that the values don't have to be unique, but if there are duplicates then multiple rows may be highlighted in the List Box simultaneously if a duplicate value is selected.
 
 
3) Mapping the specified value and display text to a Workflow field or variable is configured on this page:
 
 
Note that the List Box can only map the value and display text columns, and will always overwrite.
 
Note that if multiple rows in a List Box are selected, then no columns will be mapped.
 
 
4) When the List Box has made a selection in a Workflow, it can be configured to trigger certain other fields when it has completed. In this example, when our List Box has had a selection made, it will trigger a second (dynamic) List Box to run its query:
 
Update links are a deceptively powerful tool, allowing the chaining of multiple controls together. For example; when a selection is made in a List Box, this maps a the value and display text to Text Boxes and other fields. A Table then displays a related set of data based upon the selection in the List Box. This could then be taken further, with the Table being set to trigger a JavaScript - Button when a row was selected.
 
 
5) Click Finish.
