Dropdown List Items
Overview of Dropdown List Items
Dropdowns in Tinubu Surety Solution for Carriers (TSSC) can be defined by users. Dropdowns are made up of two parts: the Dropdown List, which is like a named container; and the Dropdown List Items, which are the Items that go inside the container. The Items are the options in the LIST part of the menu. The Dropdown List's 'Name' is the label that appears over the list.
This guide covers how to Create, Edit, Inactivate, and Recover Dropdown List Items. For additional information, the Dropdown Lists - Creating and Editing guide explains how to set up the Dropdown Lists. The Premium Rate Definition Details guide explains the use of Dropdown List Items in the creation of Premium Rate Definitions.
