Add a Clear Selection action

Use the Clear Selection action to clear but not delete selections made in a drop-down list, table fields or radio button lists at runtime. This action does not affect the data stored in the drop-down list, table field or radio button lists.

For drop-down lists, it clears the currently selected value leaving the drop-down control blank; you can still select new values. For tables, it just clears the current field and row and for radio button list, it clears the selection leaving the radio button list blank.

  1. On the Form Modeling bar, click Actions.
  2. On the Actions page, click Add Generic Add.
  3. On the Type list, select Clear Selection.
  4. Enter a Name and Description for the action.
  5. Optionally, configure a unique action for each language separately. See Configure multilingual actions for a form or control for more information.
  6. To specify the fields whose selection must be cleared, consume the required form fields, that is; drop-down, table field or radio button list in the Fields box.
  7. Click OK.

    The newly created action is added to the table.

  8. Click Save.
  9. Associate the action with the control to trigger this action. To call the Clear Selection action upon form load, associate the action with the form. See Associate an action with a form or control.

    When this action is triggered, the field selections are cleared.
