The Placeholder property of a combo box is essential for providing context about the user’s selection. By default, the placeholder text in the combo box is set to “All.” However, it can be customized to enhance user experience and guide users in making selections.

Customizing Text for Multiple Combo Boxes Simultaneously

If there are multiple combo boxes in a dashboard, the placeholder text can be customized for all of them at once. This can be achieved by localizing the defaultplaceHolderText property in the locale file. By setting this property, a default placeholder text can be established for all combo boxes, ensuring consistency across the dashboard.

Customizing Text for a Particular Combo Box

For specific combo boxes, the placeholder text can be tailored to meet the needs of the dashboard. For instance, if a combo box is designated for selecting a country, the placeholder text could be set to “Select your country.” This provides clear instructions to users, making it easier for them to understand the action they need to take
