As an example, we want to set up a chain of parent-child dropdowns for course registration. We want the user to first select from a list of available universities, then select from a list of available faculties at that selected university, and lastly, we want the user to select from a list of available courses under that university faculty.
All referenced CSV files are provided in the appendix below.
====Configuring the Parent Dropdown====
# Import ''UniversityLookup.csv '' with the "University ID " as the '''Lookup Key''' and the "Primary Key" as the '''Primary Key'''. Set '''Lookup Name''' to "UniversityLookup". # Create a custom field of type '''Select One - Dropdown List''' and give it the caption "University". # Toggle on '''Enable Dynamic Content''' and '''Use Custom Lookup Options'''. # Under '''Lookup Name''', select the name chosen for "University Lookup".
====Configuring the First Child Dropdown====
# Import ''FacultyLookup.csv '' with the "University ID " as the '''Lookup Key ''' and the "Faculty ID " as the '''Primary Key'''.
====Configuring the Second Child Dropdown====
# Import ''UniversityCourseLookup.csv '' with the "Faculty ID " as the '''Lookup Key ''' and the "Course ID " as the '''Primary Key'''.
