Resource Gallery for Allowed Value Images

Instead of boring radio buttons and check boxes, why not use pictures to represent the options that a user can select in a form?

If you set up a web form and use the Radio Button or Check Box List input type, you can include images that represent each of the allowed values. The images will be displayed on screen rather than the Radio Button or Check Box List.

There is an option in the form definition called ‘Resource Gallery for allowed value images’. In here, you need to choose a resource gallery that contains the images that you want to display. The images need to have the same names as the values that you have entered in the parameters. For example, if the parameters are ‘Red;Yellow;Blue’, you would need a resource gallery which contains three images called ‘Red’, ‘Yellow’ and ‘Blue’.
