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:

  1. 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|

  2. Define a map field as an InForm Item Path field that references the parent control for the checkboxes or the drop-down list.
  3. In the Field Definition dialog box, select Comma separates multiple-values.
