FAQ

What is the difference between a Multiple Choice Field and a Single Choice Field?

  1. A Single Choice Field lets you select only one option at a time.
  2. A Multiple Choice Field lets you select multiple options at the same time.
  3. If one record needs to belong to several categories, a Multiple Choice Field is usually the better fit.

How do I group records by one option inside a Multiple Choice Field?

  1. Open the grouping settings in the data table and choose the Multiple Choice Field.
  2. The system groups records by individual options instead of treating the whole option set as one combined value.
  3. After that, you can review grouped results for each option separately.

What happens to existing records after I delete an option?

  1. After an option is deleted, the corresponding value in records that used that option is cleared.
  2. Before deleting, check whether any records still depend on that option.
  3. If needed, change those records to another option first and then delete the old one.
