How to group checkboxes in Dropbox Sign using text tags

How to group checkboxes using text tags

To grop checkboxes using text tags:

1. Define the tag as a variable. A tag definition starts with def:$tagName, and is otherwise like a normal tag:
   • [def:$tagName|text,check,data,initial,sig|req,noreq|signerN|OptionalLabel|OptionalID]

2. If you have many tags to place, because there is a large array of checkboxes in your document, you can use a tag variable to specify the type of tag, and then reuse it:
   • [def:$chk|check|req2|signer1]



A: [$chk] C: [$chk]

B: [$chk] D: [$chk]
 

3. If you'd like to separate the groups, you'll need to rename the tag variable for each group to avoid conflicts:
   • [def:$chk2|check|req1-2|signer1]
      

A: [$chk2] C: [$chk2]

B: [$chk2] D: [$chk2]

 

From the example text tags above, you should see two text box groups. The group will be outlined with a line and have an asterisk if the any of the fields are required. 

In the first group, two of the text boxes are required to be checked. The signer can't continue until two boxes are checked. No more than two boxes can be checked since the requirement is only two and not more.

In the second group, only one of the text boxes is required to be checked. The signer can now complete the signature request.
