A checkmark is an area on a document where a special mark (usually a check mark or an X) is placed. Checkmarks indicate a choice, such as an answer on a multiple-choice test.

​
Add a Checkmark field

Add a Checkmark field in either of these ways:
  • Click a checkmark on the document image (checkmarks highlight green on hover), or drag a rectangle around it. The new field appears in the data form with an auto-assigned name.
  • Click Add Checkmark in the toolbar, and then drag a rectangle around the checkmark or click it.
If the auto-assigned name isn’t right, rename the field. Click its name in the data form, or click Field options > Advanced, and then click the field name.

​
Add regions to an existing Checkmark field

Select the field in the data form, and then click the checkmark location on the document image.
You can only add regions to Checkmark fields of type Square (checkmarks in bounded square regions).

​
General properties

To change these properties, click Field options > Advanced.

​
Checkmark type

In the Checkmark section of the field settings, set Checkmark type based on how the mark is framed on the document. The default is Square.

​
Allow corrections

In the Checkmark section of the field settings, enable Allow corrections to treat fully colored-in checkmarks as unchecked. Use it when operators correct a mark by filling in the box completely.
Allow corrections works only for Square checkmarks.
