Radio Button Display Type
Use a radio display type to present the portal users with a predefined set of mutually exclusive options, of which they can choose one. Usually radio buttons in a set are grouped together under a label.
To create a radio display type, provide a label for a set of radio buttons and then add at least two radio buttons to the set.
