Multi Select Usage# The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations. Do: Use to search and select one or more options from a list. Use to trigger an action based on a selected option or options. Use with label for better accessibility whenever possible. Use descriptive label text for screen readers when label hidden. Use without label only if the context clearly describes what the component is to be used for and no further explanation is required. Use description text to provide further information that is helpful for the user. Use without a preselection (mandatory field) by default when no other data is available. Use without a preselection (optional field) to make it possible to go back to an empty default. Use with a preselection (mandatory field) if you know a specific selection is desired by the user or a previous step requires a selection or in case of a predictive journey. Use as a mandatory field when a selection of one or more options is necessary to proceed. Use 'dropdown direction' to adjust the flyout's direction to improve the experience. Use 'validation states' error or success to give feedback on the selection. Use common sort order for menu items (frequency of use, alpha or numeric). Don't: Don't use very long option texts. Don’t use it for less than 6 options (otherwise use Checkboxes). Don’t exceed maximum width so the option labels turn multiline. Don't use the same option value twice. Don't use the same option text twice.
