Drag Sort

Overview

Drag Sort provides two components: DragSortSimpleField and DragSortDualField.

  1. DragSortSimpleField is a single column list that allows the user to drag and drop items to sort them.
  2. DragSortDualField is a two column list that allows the user to drag and drop items from one column to the other.

These components are useful for ordering a list of items, or selecting items from a list.

Key Features & Functionality

DragSortSimpleField:

  • A single-column list
  • Provide a list of labels and IDs
  • Users drag and drop items to reorder the list

DragSortDualField:

  • Provide two lists of labels and IDs
  • Users drag and drop items between the two lists
  • Users drag and drop to reorder items in either list

The order of the IDs is saved into Appian for further use.

Note: The background color of an item that is being dragged is set to the accent color of the site/environment that the component is in.
