Dropdown Menu

The Dropdown Menu widget provides a compact selection control that lets users choose from a list of static or dynamic options. It conserves space on the dashboard while offering flexible configuration for both fixed and data-driven option lists. We recommend this widget for selecting operating modes, switching between predefined configurations, or choosing from dynamically-updated data sources such as device selection or preset profiles.
