Radio
What is a Radio Field?
Radioย Fieldsย enable you to pre-define values for selection and option values will display with radio option buttons.ย
Similar to Checkbox Fields, Radio Fields enable you to assign color badges and icons as custom status indicators.
Unlike Checkbox Fields, Radio Fields do not allow for multiple options to be selected. Common use cases for Radio fields are circumstances when you would like to prompt users to select only one option, such as selecting the status for a job or selecting an assigned sales rep.
For instance, if you have a Project Management application and would like to create an option field to select the current progress for each task, you could use a Radio field to accomplish this.
Field Options
Creating or editing a Radio Field will have the following options to configure:
Name
This setting allows you to name your Radio field. For instance, "Job Status" or Service Type".
Description
This setting allows you to add an optional description of this field for your own reference.ย
Quick Edit
For your convenience, you click on the Quick Edit button to copy and paste many option values in order to add many options at once.
Enable Color Badge
This is where you can uncheck the Enable Color Badge checkbox to disable the color badge feature.ย
Icon and Color Badge
This setting allows you to define a custom icon and colored label that's associated with each option value.ย
Icons, if enabled and configured, can optionally be displayed to a User in a Form Component.ย
Sort Options Alphabetically
This setting allows you to sort your option values in alphabetical order when displayed in a form.ย
This option will only effect how the option values are displayed through a Data Component on a Page.
Default Form Value
This setting allows you to define a specific option value to automatically populate within a form. For instance, if you would like to automatically populate each form with a specific option value already pre-selected, you can click on the Default Form Value drop-down arrow and select your desired option value.
