Radio Buttons control Properties - General tab
Click the View properties icon in the layout containing the radio button control ( pxRadioButtons ) to display the Properties panel, and then select the General tab to define the source of radio button values.
Field | Description |
Property |
Select a property, the value of which will be set by the radio button selected at run time.
You can configure a list of options for the radio buttons in the List Source area, as well as select the caption and value for the radio button options. Radio button options can come from the list defined on the property or from a clipboard page, data page, or report definition.
If the set of possible values is provided by a property using the Table Type field , specify a
For
Click the Open icon to review the property (if the reference is to an existing property in the Applies To class of this rule or a parent of that class). If the property is not found, the New dialog box for the property form appears. You can reference properties on any page identified on the Pages & Classes tab, using the normal notation pagename.propertyname for pages other than the page corresponding to the Applies To class of the rule. If this field is in a cell of a section that includes parameter declarations on the Parameters tab, you can enter the notation param.NAME here, to use a parameter value for the field, where NAME identifies a string parameter. Make sure that the NAME parameter is declared on the Parameters tab, and that your application provides a non-blank value for the parameter value in all possible situations where the section appears. See Sections - Completing the Parameter tab. |
Label |
Select Use property default to use the label RadioButtons.
Clear the check box to either type a text string, or select a field value from the SmartPrompt list that contains records with Field Name key part of pyCaption. Click the Open icon to open a field value or create a one. |
Default value |
Optional. Enter a constant value for an expression to be used only when the user form or flow action form appears in read-write mode rather than read-only mode.
Choose a default value that speeds data entry. When the system renders a harness or section in read-only mode (for example because the read-write mode requires a privilege that the current user does not hold), the default value does not appear, because data entry is not permitted. |
Visibility |
Select to determine when the property value is to appear.
Always
is the default. (If this setting is not applicable, the cell contents are blank.)
|
Disable | |
Required |
Appears only for fields in cells on flow actions and sections.
Select to require that when the form appears at runtime in read-write mode, users cannot successfully submit the form if the field is blank.
Selecting Required marks the label for this field with an orange asterisk when the flow action form appears in read-write mode. (The asterisk also appears if the Label control's Value For field is not blank and the Label control's Required box is checked.) For sections, checking this box enables client-side format validation when this section is part of a harness form that has the Enable Client Side Validation box selected on the HTML tab. At runtime, users who leave this field blank and submit the form are notified immediately that the field is required; the form is not transmitted to the server. |

When a radio button control is bound to a data page or report definition that accepts parameters and the parameter value uses a property reference, the radio button group automatically refreshes with new items whenever the property value changes. You can use this functionality to set up cascading radio button lists, or any combination of controls - no additional configuration is required. |

When creating a control that supports you can use a combination of numbers, letters, and underscores, or click the Generate ID button to create a unique ID. The attribute data-test-id is then generated for the selected element. After the test ID has been generated, you can view your Test ID in HTML or display it in the Live UI panel. You also have the option to have all controls that support Test IDs in a ruleset updated in bulk. The Test ID is available to access groups that include the PegaRULES:TestID privilege. To disable Test ID, remove the PegaRULES:TestID from the access group. |
