How do I add checkboxes to a geoform we have hosted on our ArcGIS Server? The fields have a yes/no domain applied but I'm not sure if that is correct or not. Is there specific code I need to add to the configuration files? If so which ones?
Best,
Brandon
Has anyone been able to accomplish this?
Brandon,
I actually have the same question. More specifically, what I want is functionality similar to Google forms where you can ask a 'select all that apply' type question, check all possible responses, and then create a comma-delimited list (or other character of choice, such as a semi-colon [;]) that is stored in one field. It would also be great to include an 'Other' option also.
I realize that this is tough for the geodatabase to natively handle, and for this to actually happen data validation would likely need to occur within the GeoForm app itself since geodatabases don't exactly support this same functionality with attribute domains. But, I have a sneaking suspicion that it is very (and easily) possible, as long as you have a text field ready to receive a long string. I have been experimenting with other options, such a individual fields, but it isn't exactly working either.
I have found that ArcGIS Ideas is reporting that this functionality has been promoted (https://c.na9.visual.force.com/apex/ideaView?id=087E00000005FypIAE) and the GItHub readme mentions the checkbox functionality for fields (geoform-template-js/README.md at master · Esri/geoform-template-js · GitHub), but there is no clear mention of it in any documentation or issues that I have found in either GitHub or AGOL.
If anyone else out there is able to give some clarity on this issue, I think many people would benefit. Thanks.

Hi James,
I like your notion of a "check all that apply" option. I can see the difficulty on the database side but I think you're on the right track with multiple fields. Since I posted this question I think one of our web developers figured it out and I just need to check in with him on how.
Can you elaborate on your issues with using the individual fields?
Thanks,
Hi,
The "check all that apply" option would be very helpful for what I am trying to do. Has anyone figured it out?
Thanks
You mention you may have figured out the Check all that apply issue. Did you get it worked out? I am working on a project where I want to you the geoform to allow users to enter in new data, but it requires some of the fields to have more then one entry.

There is an option to use check boxes instead of dropdowns in the geoform configuration menu. When using the geoform builder, on the "Fields" option (number 5), click on the cog icon next to it.
Then select "Display As" and choose radio button. You can set up your domains to have a yes/no/all coded values.
Hope this helps.
I only see select menu and filter select? How can I get the Radio Button option?
Hi aurelies,
The only way to access the Radio Button option in the form field's settings is to ensure there's a domain associated with the field.

There is a domain. I can make a menu, but for some reason in this domain, it does not show an option for radio button.
The choices are select menu and filter select …
It must be something with my domain but I can’t figure it out – it was made the same way as the other domains in my gdb…
