A checkmark is an area on the document where a special mark (usually a tick or an x) is placed. Checkmarks usually serve to specify a choice, for example, a multiple choice test answer. You can add a checkmark field by doing one of the following:
  1. Add a field region to the image by clicking a checkmark that is highlighted in green when the cursor is hovered over it. Alternatively, draw a rectangular area around the checkmark. Your new field will be displayed in the data form. The field will be assigned a name automatically. If the automatically assigned name is incorrect, you can modify it by double-clicking the name in the data form or by navigating to the field options by clicking Field options.
  2. Add a new field to the data form by clicking the Add Checkmark icon on the toolbar, and then specifying a region for the field by drawing a rectangular area around the checkmark or by left-clicking the checkmark area.
You can also add new checkmark field regions to existing fields in the data form by selecting the appropriate field in the data form and then clicking its location on the document image. Only checkmarks placed in bounded square regions can be added.

General properties of the Checkmark field

  • Field name. The unique name of the field in a particular skill. The field name cannot contain special symbols like full stops, commas, slashes, colons, asterisks, question marks, quotation marks, less-than signs, greater-than signs, and vertical bars. The maximum allowed length of a field name is 90 symbols.
  • Required field. Specifies that the value of the field cannot be left empty. Enabling this property adds a validation rule to the page. If the field is empty after extraction, the document will be sent to manual review with an error.

​
Optional properties of the Checkmark field

  • Square. Specifies the checkmark type. Select this type for checkmarks placed in bounded square regions.
  • Without frame. Specifies the checkmark type. Select this type for checkmarks placed on a white unbounded region.
  • Allow corrections. Select this option if you want to allow checkmark correction. Selecting this option will detect all fully colored-in checkmarks to be unmarked. This property works only for checkmarks of the Square type.
