Placing a "Group selection" field on your app form creates an input field for specifying one or more groups (roles) registered in kintone.
Multiple groups can be selected from a single field.

Specify the field name. The field name is displayed as the label of the field in the app.

Selecting the Hide field name checkbox hides the field name on the following screens.

• The "New Record" screen
• The "Edit Record" screen
• The "Record Details" screen
• The screen for printing a record
• The Form settings screen

Selecting the Required field checkbox makes specifying a group mandatory.

Selecting the Preset groups checkbox lets you specify preset groups that can be selected from the field.

All of the preset groups will be displayed in the field on the "New Record" or "Edit Record" screen.

If you do not select the Preset groups checkbox, groups can be selected in the following ways on the "New Record" or "Edit Record" screen.

• By using the field to search for groups by their name or code
• By clicking the Group selection icon to the right of the field to open the Select Groups dialog, then selecting groups from the list
