Enumerations

An enumeration (enum) is a predefined list of options, like a dropdown. You define the options once in the Enumeration section, then drag and drop the enum onto any window canvas to create a dropdown field there.

Viewing Enumerations

Navigate to the Enumeration section in BrainGrid to see all enumerations defined in the system.

Click the arrow next to any enumeration to expand it and view its options.

Adding an Enumeration

1. Click + Add Enumeration.
2. Enter a name for the enum (e.g. Status, Priority).
3. Add the options one by one (e.g. Open, Closed, Pending).
4. Click Save.

Editing an Enumeration

1. Hover to the enumeration.
2. Select Edit.
3. Update the name or add / remove options.
4. Click Save.

Using an Enumeration on a Window Canvas

Once an enumeration is created, drag and drop it onto any window canvas to add it as a dropdown field.

1. Open the target window in the canvas.
2. From the Enumeration section, drag the enum.
3. Drop it onto the canvas.
4. Click Publish to apply the changes.

The enum now appears as a dropdown field on the canvas.
