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 in the same cell.
  3. If one record needs several tags, categories, or attributes, use a multiple choice field.

How do I group records by one option inside a multiple choice field?

  1. Open the grouping settings in the multidimensional table.
  2. Select the target multiple choice field as the grouping basis.
  3. The system splits and counts each option separately, so you do not need to treat the whole option set as one value.

What happens to existing records after I delete an option?

  1. Before deleting an option, check whether any records are still using it.
  2. If you delete the option, the corresponding value in records that used it will be cleared.
  3. If you need to keep the information, change those records to another option before deleting it.
