The Select element is used in conjunction with an Option List.  It allows a user to select only one of the options in the list. Use this element when you have small lists and short options to work with.

To add a Select element to your form, follow the instructions below.

From inside the form builder, click the Select button from the left-hand menu. You'll see it populate the device view.

On the right-hand side, you'll see the element properties.  Enter the name of your element (A), and if you like, a description of what information should be entered in the element when collecting (B).
