Multiple checkboxes provide options in a field to make multiple selections. Checked boxes have a value of "Yes/True" and unchecked boxes are "No/False"

To create values in a Multiple Check Box:

  1. See the instructions to add a Field
  2. Select the Multiple Check Boxes display type
  3. Enter each value on a new line; In this example, shoe sizes are listed:

In the record, the Multiple Check Boxes will appear as follows:

Although the labels for the enumerated values may contain commas, the enumerated values may not contain commas

The orientation can be vertical or horizontal

  • When displayed vertically, each label is shown on a separate line
  • When displayed horizontally, the labels are shown on the same line, separated by commas

For Multiple Check Box fields where the labels include commas, vertical orientation is the better choice
