The radio button is an action button that enables the signer to choose only one from a list of mutually exclusive options. The radio buttons will always appear in at least two to allow the signer to select one from. The sender can assign the radio button group as required or optional, depending on the signing scenarios. This feature is often used for a yes/no question or single preference question in a document.
You are able to create a group of several radio buttons at the same time, make it quick and easy to design fields and request information from the signer efficiently.
*Note: If you want to create fields that allow multiple selections, please refer to the checkbox feature.
