What does the component do?

  • It is used for the selection of one or more options from a pre-defined list.

When should the component be used?

  • For the selection of several options (selection of single or multiple options) from a list.
  • If a selection must be made where the entries mutually exclude one another and no default value is to be set (in contrast to the radiobutton element).
  • When selection options are to be grouped.

Rules

  • There must be a choice of at least two options.
  • The component always has a label.
  • A question mark in the circle can also be shown – in addition to the label – for detailed explanations. A tooltip opens when this question mark is clicked on.
  • The text in the select component is always single-line.
  • If an entry is longer than the available width of the component, the entry’s text is abbreviated with ‘…’.
  • A pre-selection is not permitted with a mandatory field.
  • If no selection has been made yet, the component text says “please select …”.
