Indicating that data contains multiple selection items
To import data to a multiple-selection control, a checkbox group, or a multiple-selection drop-down list:
- In the import file, include all applicable selections in a single field. Separate each selection with a pipe (|).
For example, if you want the cigarettes and cigars checkboxes to be selected in a list containing cigarettes, cigars, and Not Done, and the values defined for those selections are “cigarettes,” “cigars,” and “ND,” the import file should contain a field with the following value:
|cigarettes,cigars|
- Define a map field as an InForm Item Path field that references the parent control for the checkboxes or the drop-down list.
- In the Field Definition dialog box, select Comma separates multiple-values.
