FAQ
What is the difference between a multiple choice field and a single choice field?
- A single choice field lets you select only one option at a time.
- A multiple choice field lets you select more than one option at the same time.
- If one record needs to belong to several categories, use a multiple choice field.
How do I group records by one option inside a multiple choice field?
- Open the grouping settings and choose the target multiple choice field.
- The system groups records by each individual option instead of treating the full set of selected options as one combined value.
- After that, you can review the grouped result for each option.
What happens to existing records after I delete an option?
- Before deleting an option, check whether any records are still using it.
- If you delete that option, the corresponding value in records that used it is cleared.
- If you need to keep the information, change those records to another option before deletion.
