Understanding Radio Buttons

When you insert a radio button on a page, it appears with the default label, Dummy Name, until you specify a record definition name, field, and value for the radio button. Like edit box labels, radio button labels display a dashed box to indicate the translation buffer.

For radio buttons to function as a single group, they must be associated with the same record field and they must be adjacent fields on the Order tab of the page definition. To save time, add all radio buttons in a set, one after the other. After you add the first radio button, the system remembers the record definition name and field name for all subsequent radio buttons; you must enter only the database value for each. Then, place a group box around all of your radio buttons to keep them together and labeled, as in this example:
