Single-select and multi-select columns in Legatics give you greater control over how you categorize and organize data within your lists. With single-select, users can choose one predefined option per row, while multi-select allows multiple selections. These columns help standardize data entry, improve filtering, and make it easier to analyze information at a glance. This guide will walk you through setting up these columns, configuring options, and using them effectively to keep your lists structured and actionable.
Good to know: Both multi-select and single-select columns work in the same way (except with multi-select columns you can select multiple options)
