Option field

The "radio button" element is one of the basic controls. It consists of individual options grouped together. Only one of the options may be selected by the user in the browser. The value of the selected option is saved as text in the data field that is automatically created when the element is created and it can be linked to the element.

The values of the option field can be saved with a corresponding button.

The radio button element can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new radio button can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

Further information on creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of a radio button opens automatically when a new radio button is created. The properties dialog of an existing text field can be opened by double-clicking on the element on the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu or via the "Edit / Properties" main menu if the radio button is selected on the workspace.
