Tag 040 - Radio Buttons

Simplify supports a Radio Buttons Message. The Request displays a screen with up to 100 radio buttons and up to three lines of text. The customer can select one radio button. A field in the Request (Required) determines whether the Enter key is accepted when no radio button is selected.

One field in the Radio Buttons Response (ActionButton) will indicate whether Enter or Cancel was pressed. If the customer presses the Enter key, another field (Data) indicates the radio button selected by the customer (if any).
