Multi select

The Multi Select allows the user to perform a selection of zero to many entries in a droplist. Its functionality is essentially the same as the Select component, but the user can select more than one object.

A Data Source in Appfarm has a built-in property called Is Selected. It exists for each entry, and specifies whether the object/entry is selected or not. Multi Select is a UI Component which allows the user to select one or more objects in a Data Source, thus setting the Is Selected property for the selected objects.

A full example setup on Multi Select is available in our Showroom. You may view a demo, as well as access the setup in Appfarm Create. If you do not have access, you may register on Showroom Signup.
