Check Boxes / Radio Buttons

Check boxes are fields that allow the user to tick to select a particular option. Give a list of check boxes a user can typically select zero or more options from the list. For example, given the list:

  • Home owner
  • Driver
  • Employed

In some cases it would be appropriate to select all three options.

Radio buttons are similar to check boxes however they are grouped together and only one of the options in the group can be selected. For example, given the list:

  • Employed
  • Unemployed
  • Retired

It is only appropriate to select one option.

To add a Check Box to the form simply use the Wand Tool or Draw Tool to draw the area on to your form and select the Field Type “Check Box”.

To add a Radio Button to the form follow the instructions above and set the Check Box’s “Group Name” property to the name of the group you are creating. For example, in the example above the group name could be called “Employment Status”. Give each check box that belongs to this group the same Group Name. This will then allow you to only select one option from this group.
