Radio Button Field Properties

The Radio Button options are similar to the Checkbox options, except radio buttons are limited to having users only select one option.

The properties panel allows the App Designer to further customize how the checkboxes will be presented to the user.

Setting	Description
Basic Tab / General Settings
Display Name Required	See General Field Features
Option Orientation	Select Vertical or Horizontal. Note: For Horizontal the options may wrap onto further rows if the options require more width than is available to the control.
Options Tab
Sorting direction	Select None, Asc (Ascending) or Desc (Descending). Note: All values are treated as text when sorting. Also, selecting None after using the sort options will leave the options in the last sorted order, though they can then be manually reordered.
Advanced Tab / Conditional Visibility – See Conditional Visibility

The Radio Button and Checkbox option properties have been updated. View the update here: Radio and Checkbox Field Properties.

The option values for the Radio Button can be set in the field itself and on properties panel.

Editing option values directly in the form

Editing option values in the Properties panel

Setting	Description
Option Text	Type the desired text or edit an existing value. Acts like a normal text field.
	Delete this option.
	Reorder the current option by moving it up or down the option list. Only available when using the Properties panel. Note: The top and bottom options only have a single arrow, a down and an up respectively. When Asc or Desc sorting is selected the reordering arrows do not display.
	Adds a new option at the bottom of the list. Note: If Asc or Desc sorting is selected, the new option will be created wherever “Option ?”, where “?” is the number of the option, would sort in the list.
