A checkmark is an area on a document where a special mark (usually a check mark or an X) is placed. Checkmarks indicate a choice — for example, a multiple-choice test answer.

Add a Checkmark field

Mark a checkmark on the document image

Click a checkmark (highlighted green on hover), or drag a rectangle around it. The new field appears in the data form with an auto-assigned name.

Add an empty field, then mark its region

Click Add Checkmark in the toolbar, then drag a rectangle around the checkmark or click the checkmark.
If the auto-assigned name isn’t right, double-click the name in the data form, or click the name in Field options to rename the field.

Add regions to an existing Checkmark field

Select the field in the data form, then click the checkmark location on the document image.
You can only add regions to Checkmark fields of type Square (checkmarks in bounded square regions).
