Single and group checkboxes in fillable forms

Single and group checkboxes in fillable forms

Hey Writer Fam,

Are you making the most out of single and group checkboxes in fillable forms in Zoho Writer? Here is a handy tip to optimize your use of checkboxes, both single and group, and enhance your data collection process.

Single checkboxes:

Single checkboxes are perfect for situations where respondents need to make a binary choice, such as "Yes" or "No" or "Agree" or "Disagree."

Group checkboxes:

Group checkboxes, on the other hand, allow respondents to select multiple options. This is commonly used for surveys, registration forms, or any scenario where respondents may need to choose multiple options from a list.



To insert a single or group checkboxes in your Zoho Writer fillable form:
  1. Go to the menu and navigate to Automate in your fillable template.
  2. Click the Checkbox dropdown from the list of available fields.
  3. Choose "single" or "group checkbox".
You can also group a set of single checkboxes into a group checkbox. Check out our user guide to learn how to group single checkboxes into a group. If you have any questions, drop them in the comments or write to us at support@zohowriter.com.
We'll be back with more tips.

Until then,

Happy writing!
