To do so, you must create an option group.

to select them.
6
With the objects still selected, click the Object Definition button
in the standard toolbar or choose Object Definition... in the

Type job type in the Option Group drop-down list box.

Click OK.

Click Yes in the dialog box that asks if you want OmniForm to
create unique On-Values for you.
Now you will be able to select only one check box at a time in
fill view. See the "Defining a Check Box Object" on page 145 for
detailed information on Option Groups.
You can define each check box individually if you like as well
to give it a unique name.
