Selectors overview

In FOLIO, there are several different components and patterns that can be used to choose data from a controlled vocabulary. The purpose of this page is to help you choose the one that is right for your use case.

 

The overview below should be read as a decision tree: Please start with the choosing the most relevant section for your use case at the top level (i.e. the biggest headlines). Once you have done that, please proceed to do the same for each level of the chosen section until you reach the lowest level of the section in question, which will provide you with the recommended solution for your use case.
