Select Menu

When to use Select Menu instead of Dropdown, and guidance on single/multi select and filterable variants.

Alternatives

  • Dropdown — For presenting a list of discrete actions to a user

The single select is used for setting enumerable values when filtering data. It is not to be used in forms, where an actual input element is required; prefer the SelectField.

Allow the users to search for items within the menu. We recommend only introducing filter behaviour when the expected option count is greater than 6.
