Defining a group, radio, or checkbox control
The InForm Architect application supports the following types of controls for grouping similar items:
- Group controls enable you to treat a set of controls as a single component for the purpose of including them in a nested control or item definition. A group control can be composed of any types of controls, including other group controls.
- Use a radio group to list a set of choices from which a user must select only one choice. Radio groups are appropriate when a small number of choices is available (for example, Yes, No, or Not Done), or when the definition of a single choice is expressed with another type of control; for example, a pulldown list. A radio group control can be composed of any types of controls, including other radio group controls.
- Use a checkbox group to define a control in which a user can select as many choices as are applicable. A checkbox group control can be composed of any types of controls, including other checkbox group controls.
These types of grouped controls have identical properties for the purpose of definition, therefore, this section describes all three types together.
