K2 SmartForms Radio Button Group

Using Radio Buttons in K2 SmartForms is a very flexible set of tools. It gives the developer the control to give the user a choice and then manipulate the UI based on these user choices with a very simplified yet effective outcome on the K2 SmartForms rule side.

1 – K2 SmartForms – Radio Button Group

To start using this feature you first have to add a Radio Button Group control to your view, it doesn’t matter where this control is located (it won’t be visible at runtime). The name you choose will be used later on to group individual radio buttons in this specific radio button group. The value you specify will be the default radio button selected when the form loads.

The value can be any value the developer chooses – a range of number, boolean values, letters or a mix between all of these, it is unique to every radio button within the group.
