Single Selection Fields

Single Selection fields allow users to select a single value for the field.

Single Selection fields, selections, and selection ordering are defined in SBM Composer, but you can perform the following overrides and configuration tasks in Application Administrator:

The Allow Override check box is automatically selected when you modify attributes and value and display options when you are adding or editing a project.

Attributes

You can override the following Single Selection field attributes for default fields in projects and transition fields. Attributes set for fields in the Default Fields list apply to all transitions; attributes set for fields for a transition apply only to that transition.

Display Options

You can override the following display options for default fields in projects and transition fields:

Value Options

Use the Values section to set a default value for the field and change the status of selections as needed. For example, you may want to disable the "low" selection for a Priority field for a project that stores customer complaints, but enable it for a project that stores employee complaints.

The following options are available on this pane:

Transition Actions

The following options are available for fields when you are editing a transition and enable you to control field values for the transition. For example, you may want to clear an existing value for a required field when a transition is executed, forcing users to provide a new value. These options apply to all field types for transitions.
  • Leave Value Unchanged

    Select to retain the field's current value when the transition is complete.

  • Clear Value

    Select to clear the field's current value.

  • Set Value to Default Value

    Select to use a default value for the field as the user executes the transition. You can then select a default value.
