Description

Click a closed drop-down

  • Clicking or tapping anywhere on the drop-down field opens the options list.

  • The search field is focused and the user may start typing.

Enter Search

  • As characters are entered, the list is filtered to show matching results only.

  • The filter can match anywhere within the value string (at the beginning, middle, or end).

  • The user may use the Up and Down keys to navigate between options and Enter to select.

Select an item

  • The option name is added to the select trigger area.

  • The options list remains open, so the user can select another item.

  • Search can be cleared to view the full options list.

  • The selected items are checked.

Delete search string

  • A search string can be cleared using the “x” button, or manually by using the delete key.

  • The full list is presented.

  • The search field is in focus.

Please refer to Field validation page for more information.

An example for a drop-down menu with a warning: 

...

  • Use when:

    • The options list is small-medium in size.

    • Space is constrained.

  • Use the searchable type when:

    • there are more than 15 options.

    • when users are expected to know what they are looking for, and are likely to be aware of how the option is labelled.

  • Don’t use when:

    • The list has fewer than 3 options.

    • The list has fewer than 7 options and the user needs to see them all at once. Use radio buttons or Check boxes instead.

    • The user needs to enter a value which is not in the list. Use a combo box instead.

    • The list is large. Use Dual List Selector or List instead.

  • General:

    • Only show a scrollbar when the list has over 8 items.

    • Keep the text values as short as possible, because the list uses single lines only.

    • The option list should adapt its length to the longest entry by default, but values that are too long may be truncated, with a tooltip displaying the full text (not recommended). The option list may not have a horizontal scroll.

    • Place options that represent All or None at the beginning of the list, regardless of the sort order of the remaining items.

    • Do not allow the control to auto-adjust based on the selection.

    • If there’s no label, or if the label is not indicative enough, the selected item type should be added within the drop-down, after the number of selections:
