In Edit Sheet Def, click CheckBox.

Checkboxes and radio buttons are Sheet Field Types used to indicate a selection by toggling an X on or off. The look of this window and the available fields change depending on sheet type.

• Checkboxes allow one or many selections.
• Radio buttons allow only one selection out of a group of options.
• Both can correspond to a specific field in the database, though misc fields do not have a database value.

The checkbox or radio button is the actual X, not a box surrounding the X. This makes it useful for scanned backgrounds. If you need to add a box, you can add a rectangle behind the checkbox or radio button as a visual indicator.

Checkbox Options

• Displays for all sheet and checkbox types.
• X Pos / Y Pos: The X and Y position of the checkbox on the sheet.
• Width / Height: The width and height of the X for the checkbox.

• Dislays for all sheet and checkbox types.
• Field Name: The available field options the checkbox can correspond to. The field you select may change other options on the screen.
• Fields (other than misc) can be imported.
• Misc can be used to collect data that does not correspond to a database field. The entered data cannot be imported, but can be reported in a custom Query. Entered data is stored in the sheetfield.fieldvalue column in the sheetfield table.

Creating Radio Buttons for Database Fields

These steps will create a group of radio buttons that correspond to database fields and whose values can be imported. You must create a radio button for each possible value in a radio button group for it to work correctly.

4. For Mobile Item Caption, enter the name of the this button that will display in mobile layout.
5. If you want to run a custom query (optional): For Reportable Name, enter a unique name for this option (e.g. Paternal Only, Maternal Only, Both, None). This is the name that will be reportable in a query when this radio button is selected.
6. Click OK.
