When using WPS Multiple Options on iOS, the most common questions focus on filtering, adding options during entry, and the difference between single-choice and multi-choice fields; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions.
FAQ
Can I filter or group records by one selected option?
- Yes. You can use the data table's filtering or grouping tools to focus on one option value.
- First, make sure the relevant records already contain the target option.
- Then apply filtering or grouping by that option to view the matching records.
Can I add a new option while filling in a record?
- Yes. On iOS, you can add a related option during entry when the current list does not include what you need.
- Add the new option in the field workflow.
- Then continue filling in the current record with the new option available.
What is the difference between Multiple Options and Single Option?
- Multiple Options lets one record keep more than one preset value.
- Single Option allows only one preset value at a time.
- If one record needs to belong to several categories at once, Multiple Options is the better fit.
