Element: Dropdown Menu

Created by Mike B, Modified on Thu, 28 Dec 2023 at 11:43 AM by Mike B

Introduction

You can insert many options into a single drop with the Dropdown element. The dropdown menu is great to use when forcing a user to select only one option in any given category.

In this example, you can see how the price changes on each option.




Near Search Bar

When more than 7 items are inside a dropdown, a search bar will appear for your users.




Benefits, Features & Use Cases
