6.3.2  Containing Selection Components

A Selection Container can hold Selection List and Range Slider components. To add selection components to a Selection Container, follow the steps below:

1. Drag a Selection Container component from the Component tree onto the Viewsheet grid. This creates an empty Selection Container element.

2. Drag a data field onto the Selection Container. (Use the green highlight to place the field as desired.) You can obtain this field from two sources:

a. Drag a field from the Data Block in the Component tree onto the Selection Container.

 

b. Drag a field from the Chart Editor onto the Selection Container.

 

This adds the chosen field to the Selection Container as a Selection List (categorical field) or a Range Slider (numerical or date field).

3. (Optional) Right-click on the Selection Container, and select 'Properties' from the context menu. This opens the 'Selection Container Properties' dialog box.

4. (Optional) To permit the end-user to drag new fields from the Chart Editor to the Selection Container, enable 'Allow New Selections in Viewer'.
