# Overview

> Property types for choosing from options, users, and related records.

## Select properties

Select properties constrain a value to a known set rather than free text.
[Select](/data/properties/select/select) picks from a defined option list,
[Status](/data/properties/select/status) adds lifecycle ordering and stage
semantics on top, and [User](/data/properties/select/user) assigns the record
to workspace members. [Relation](/data/properties/select/relation) and
[Conversation](/data/properties/select/conversation) link a record to other
records and to conversation threads.

Because the value is drawn from a controlled set, select types power grouping,
board columns, pipeline stages, and reliable filtering. None of which work
well on free text.
