A Checkmark group field contains several checkmarks — typically a multiple-choice question, optionally allowing several answers 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

Mark a region around several checkmarks

Draw a rectangle 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.

Add an empty field and mark its region

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, double-click the name in the data form, or click the name in Field options.

General properties

Checkmark type

All checkmarks in a group must share the same type.

Allow corrections

Enable Allow corrections to treat fully colored-in checkmarks as unchecked — used when an operator corrects a mark by filling it in (filled-in mark = undone).
Allow corrections works only for Square checkmarks.

Selection rules

  • Allow multiple selection — Enable to let more than one checkmark be selected at the same time.
  • Max selected allowed — Only available when Allow multiple selection is enabled. Sets the maximum number of checkmarks that can be selected. If more are selected after extraction, the document goes to manual review.
