# Omniscripts Radio Element

Enable users to select one from multiple items by adding the Radio element to your Omniscript. Display options vertically, horizontally, or as an image.

1. Select the display format for the radio buttons. These options are available:
    
    - **Horizontal**: (Default) Display radio buttons next to each other.
    - **Vertical**: Display radio buttons stacked.
    - **Image**: Display each radio button as an image.
2. If you select **Image** as the display format, configure these additional properties:
    
    - **Width**: Sets the image width.
    - **Height**: Sets the image height.
    - **Image Count In Row**: Sets how many images per row to display.
    - **Enable Caption**: Displays a caption below the image.
3. In **Option Source**, select where the list of options come from. Select from one of the following:
    
    - **Manual**: (Default) Manually enter value/label pairs. Available when **Display Mode** is not **Image**.
    - **Custom**: Enter the Apex class and method that returns the options. Use the format `ClassName.method`. See [Populating Picklist Values in Omniscript Inputs from Apex](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_populating_picklist_values_from_apex_21650.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can populate Select, Multi-select, and Radio elements from a Callable Apex class. The values for the element are obtained during the Omniscript's activation.").
    - **SObject**: Retrieves the picklist values from the Salesforce object and field. Use the format `ObjectAPIName.FieldAPIName`.
    - **Image**: When Image is selected as Display Mode, manually enter value/label pairs and upload images to display. If no image is uploaded, the label displays in the image box.
4. If you select **Manual** or **Image** as an **Option Source**, for each option follow these steps:
    
    1. Click **Add Option**.
    2. Enter the **Value** and visible **Label**.
    3. If your option is an image, select an image available from the **Choose existing image** dropdown. Or upload an image from your computer from the **Or upload new image** section.

        Note
        
        If you're using the Omnistudio standard runtime and standard designer without the Omnistudio managed package installed, you may encounter an error when uploading images. To resolve this issue, install the latest version of Omnistudio managed package. For installation instructions, see[Install or Upgrade the Omnistudio Managed Package](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_install_or_upgrade_the_omnistudio_package.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
    4. If needed, make the option selected by default.
    5. If needed, advance the user to the next step when they click this option.
5. If you select **Custom** as an **Option Source**, in the **Source**, enter the name of a method to call on a class in the format `class.method`.
6. If you select **SObject** as an **Option Source**, in the **Source**, enter the name of a field on an object in the format `SObject.field`.
7. To display options based on the selection of another value, configure **Controlling Field Type** by following these steps:
    
    1. To define the source of the controlling field:
        
        - To retrieve picklist options from an Apex class, select **Custom**.
        - To retrieve dependent picklist values from a Salesforce object, select **SObject**.
    2. In **Controlling Field Source**, enter an Apex class.
    3. In **Controlling Field Element**, enter an Omniscript element name.
8.

Some settings are common among the elements, though some of these setting aren’t available in all elements. To edit these settings, use the Properties pane on the Designer.").
