Single Select Field
Updated
This field lets you choose a single option from the drop-down list. For example, adding a single user from the drop-down
list.
The article outlines the steps to create a Single Select Field Field in Entity Studio.
Creating a Single Select Field in Entity Studio
Navigate to Launchpad. From the Sprinklr Service tab, click Entity Studio from the Persona Apps section.
The Entity Manager page appears with the list of entities.
Search for the desired entity in the search bar. Click on the 3 dots and then click the View button next to the entity name.
On the left navigation pane, click Fields and Relationships.
Click the Create Field page in the top right corner of the Record Manager. The Create Field Page appears.
Select Single Select from the Field Type drop-down.
The following are the fields that needs to be filled in the Create Field page.
Fields | Description |
Field Type | Choose the Single-Select field type if you want to allow users to select only a single option from a predefined list (drop-down list). |
Name | Provide a suitable name, for example, “Pricing Types”. |
API Reference ID | API Reference ID is a unique identifier used to reference fields and objects when interacting with the Sprinklr platform via APIs. For example, you can provide API reference ID as pricing_type. |
Help Text | Help text appears as a tooltip or is shown below the field, depending on the configuration. It offers quick hints without cluttering the UI. For example, you can write, “Select a pricing type from the list.” |
Placeholder | Placeholders are temporary, instructional texts displayed inside a field to guide users on what to enter. They disappear when users start typing in the field, offering a more intuitive data entry experience. For example, it can be “Enter Customer Name”. |
Options | You can add multiple options for users to choose from and provide a desirable option name. Each option can have a different color and unique icons for a more visually appealing experience. You can reorder the options to match your priority list. |
Define Visibility Conditions for Field Values | For more information, refer to Define Visibility Conditions for Field Values. |
Controlling Field | For more information, refer to the Controlling Field. |
Controlling Field Values | For more information, refer to Controlling Field Values. |
Default Value | You can choose the desired default option that will be selected when no input is provided by the user in the field. |
Mandatory Field | When mandatory field is enabled, new record creation will fail if there is no input in the current field. If the default value is set, the error will not be triggered. |
Enable Sorting | Allows sorting the records in Record Manager based on the selected option in this field. |
Enable Searching | Allows searching for records based on the values in this field. |
Do not allow Duplicate Values | Disallows duplicate values in the Single-Select field. If a user tries to enter the same value twice, the system will trigger an error and will not accept the duplicate value. |
Enable Cloning | Allows the field value to be copied when a record is cloned. This is useful in scenarios where new records are often created based on existing ones, such as tickets, orders, or configurations. |
Define Visibility Conditions for field values
This governs which field values will be available for selection based on conditions. For example, options in the Pricing Types field could depend on the value chosen in another controlling field.
Basic Tab
Choose the controlling field value from the dropdown based on which the custom field values will be displayed in the Record Form.
For example, if you select Product 1 as the controlling field value, you can choose the following custom field values for Product 1: Product 1 Price. Similarly, for Product 2, you can select Product 2 Price.
Advanced Tab
In case where, the field's value is dependent upon two or more field values, then you use the advanced tab.
Click on Advanced Tab, and click on Add Visibility Condition. The Visibility Condition window appears.
Here, you can add multiple conditions based on which the custom field values will be reflected.
Once you add the controlling fields, click on the Apply icon in the bottom right.
Click on the Save icon in the bottom right corner once you input the field details.
