Create the Check Box Objects
1 Click the Check Box tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Draw a check box.
Hold down the Shift key to constrain the shape to a square.
3 With the object still selected, choose
Copy
and then
Paste
in the
Edit menu.
4 Choose
Paste
two more times.
You now have four check boxes of equal size.
The user of this form wants to be able to select only one check
box at a time so that each copy of the form records just one job.
To do so, you must create an
option group.
5 Shift-click or drag the cursor around all four check box objects
to select them.
6 With the objects still selected, click the Object Definition button
in the standard toolbar or choose
Object Definition...
in the
Format menu.
The Check Box Definition dialog box appears.
7Type job type in the
Option Group
drop-down list box.
8 Click
OK.
9 Click
Yes
in the dialog box that asks if you want OmniForm to
create unique On-Values for you.
Now you will be able to select only one check box at a time in
fill view. See the “Defining a Check Box Object” on page 145 for
detailed information on Option Groups.
You can define each check box individually if you like as well
to give it a unique name.
