A single selection list is type of data element from which only one value can be selected. In the Data Inventory Manager, you can specify the default display option when the field is added to Data Entry Form templates in the Data Entry Form template designer. You may change display option during the design of the template.

Note.jpg By default, all single selection lists display as radio buttons.

To set how a single selection list displays:

  1. In the Customisation menu → Data Inventory Manager.

  6. Custom Options List Window

    Custom Options List Window

  7. In the Selection Display field, choose either the Radio Buttons or Combo Box option.

    The single selection list will now display according to your setting each time you add it to a Data Entry Form template.
