Overview of the list box OMR field

The second page of the Survey application (Survey_Page2) illustrates the use of a list box in conjunction with OMR fields. The list box allows for the selection of multiple options.

The Taskmaster DotEdit runtime view and the DCO for field 8 are shown below.

Because the definition for field 8 includes a RecogType variable and a MultiPunch variable, the Taskmaster DotEdit test container uses a list box as the recognition/data entry control.

Field 8 includes nine OMR sub fields (one for each of the response checkboxes) and a dictionary (Dict) field. The sub fields and the associated dictionary are also defined in the DCO.
