Can a Multi-Select check box display horizontal vs Vertical

[svorhies]

Hello all,

I am new to developing in SN (Istanbul).   I have created my first Update Set and using Item Designer have been able to create and publish my first Catalog Item.   My question is, Can the Multi-Select question and Check boxes be displayed horizontal vs vertical when published.   I have a multi-select that will have 9 options to choose from and this is creating extensive white space at the top of the page.   It would be ideal to have them displayed horizontal and wrap to a second row if applicable.   Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Sheri,

If I am following what you are asking...The only way that I know is to use containers within containers.   We have the service catalog form or record producer form displaying like 4 columns of say 5 checkboxes (for a total of 20 checkboxes) and each "column" can have a label or the label can be blank.   Multiple Choice variables are radio buttons, not checkboxes, so if you want radio buttons, I think they are configured to display vertical or horizontal, but checkboxes are a single variable not options to just one variable.   I hope this makes sense

It's not a perfect solution, but you can put them in nested containers and get them to display horizontally. The checkboxes have some lightly documented nuances that make them behave a little oddly, but I just tested it on demo and it worked. It has "Options" above each check box or you can add a Label to each box to customize it.

It would be something like this if it would work:

Type	Order	Layout
Container Start	100	2 Columns Wide, alternating sides
CheckBox	200
Container Start	300	2 Columns Wide, alternating sides
CheckBox	400
Container Start	450	1 Column Wide
CheckBox	500
Container End	550
Container End	600
Container End	700
