A Checkmark group field contains several checkmarks, typically for a multiple-choice question. It can allow more than one answer to be selected at once.
A Checkmark group field is not the same as a Group field that contains several Checkmark fields. A Checkmark group is a single field whose value is the set of selected checkmarks.

​
Add a Checkmark group

Add a Checkmark group in either of these ways:
  • Draw a rectangle on the document image that includes several checkmarks. The new field appears in the data form with an auto-assigned name. This works only for checkmarks with a square frame.
  • Click Add Checkmark Group in the toolbar, and then draw a rectangle that contains several checkmarks. To add checkmarks one at a time instead, click Add Checkmark, and then click each checkmark.
To rename the group or any checkmark in it, click its name in the data form, or click Field options > Advanced, and then click the field name.

​
Checkmark type

In the Checkmark section of the field settings, set Checkmark type for the whole group. All checkmarks in a group must share the same type. 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.

Selection rules

Set these options in the Value section of the field settings.
