The Input Choice Set Grid displays your choices in a neat and organized grid, making it easy for users to pick what they need. It's perfect for forms or data entry where you want a clear, visual way for people to select one or more options.
The Input Choice Set Grid functions similarly to a spreadsheet and consists of three main elements: columns, rows, and values.
Columns represent the choices or criteria available to the user and are displayed in the top row of the grid. You can populate columns using various methods:
Manual Entry: Directly type in the options.
Flow Variables: Use values from your flow variables.
Picklist Fields: Pull options from a picklist field on a Salesforce object.
Salesforce Data Query: Fetch options directly from your Salesforce data using a query.
Rows are created manually and represent different items, records, or categories that users can select. Each row provides context for the options in the columns.
Each cell in the grid, formed by the intersection of a row and a column, holds a specific value. You can assign a value to each cell, and when a user selects that cell during the flow, the assigned value is stored. This setup allows for precise data capture based on user interactions within the flow.
To capture user selections in your flow:
Attributes to Use:
value: Stores the selected cell's value if a single selection is enabled.
valueSerialized: Stores all selected values in a serialized format for multiple selections.
Usage:
Reference these attributes in subsequent steps of your flow.
Use the captured data to create or update records, make decisions, or trigger actions.
No additional configuration is needed within the grid component to capture these values; they are inherently available after the user interacts with the grid
Prefilling Values: When the component loads, prepopulate the grid with default selections to guide users or streamline data entry.
Data Collection: Organize complex data inputs, such as schedules, resource allocations, or preference mappings.
Surveys and Feedback: Gather user feedback across multiple criteria efficiently
Input Choice Set Grids provide a user-friendly way to gather multiple selections in a structured format. We offer a range of styling options to ensure your grid integrates seamlessly with your application's design.
Margin: Control the spacing around the grid to position it correctly within its surrounding elements.
Size: Adjust the overall size of the grid container to fit your layout requirements
By utilizing these styling options, you can create Input Choice Set Grids that are functional, easy to use, visually appealing, and consistent with your application's overall design. This enhances the user experience by providing a clear and organized selection method.
