Select Dialog

Intro

The select dialog enables users to select one or more items from a multi-column list. It also has a search control above the list for filtering.

Examples of select dialog used in SAP Web IDE:

  • Quick Access
  • Open Resource
  • Adding a new control from the Outline tab in the Layout editor.

Do

  • Use this control if users need to select one or more entries from a list that contains multiple attributes or values.

Don’t

  • Don’t use this control if users need to select one option from a list that contains only one attribute or value. In this case, consider using the combo box or select control instead.
  • Don’t use this control if users need to select several options from a list that contains only one attribute or value (not multi-column list). In this case, consider using the  multi-combo box or select checkbox control instead.
  • Don’t use this control if users need to select a range of values. In this case consider using two select controls.
