   Is there any way to display the picklist as multiradiobutton option in the portal?
   
   Actually our requirement is We need to create a customer feedback form with a rating scale  from 1 - 10, where 1 is not at all satisfied, and 10 is extremely satisfied. Portal does not support 10 horizontal radio buttons. Does anyone know other ways to present a rating scale in a form? Customer does not want to use a drop down/Picklist for a rating scale type question.

   Hello Sandeeproy,
   
   Radio buttons would be a standard way to display  rating options. To render CRM Picklist as a Radio Button List change PicklistRenderMode to RadioButtonList in the Advanced Settings dialogue of the widget. Then you can control the way the radio buttons generated by changing other properties like RepeatDirection (Vertical or Horizontal), RepeatLayout(Flow or Table), RadioButtonHideLabels(true or false). 
   
   Kind Regards,

   Hi Boris,
   
   Thanks for your quick response. 
   I was trying to do the steps You suggested but unfortunately i was not able to do that.
   
   In the Advanced Settings dialog of the CRM PickList widget i didn't get any property "Render Mode" but when i clicked a button "cboPicklist".I got the options "Render Mode" and "Resolved Render Mode" from "classic"(default value) to "RadioButtonList" and saved it.But when i reopend it the value again changed from "RadioButtonList" to classic.
   
   It will be helpful if you share any video ,document or steps anything to do the configuration changes for the picklist widget to display it as a multi radio button options. I was also not able to find the other properties like RepeatDirection,RepeatLayout etc.
   
   For Your reference we are using  the "Sitefinity 7.3.5610.0 Professional Edition"  version of the portal.

   Hello Sandeep,
   
   It is the PicklistRenderMode property that you need to look for. The cboPicklist and rblPicklist buttons open dialogues with additional properties for the Drop Down List and Radio Button List respectively. Neither one should be used as they rendered by Sitefinity but not supported.  Please check the advanced settings dialogue again. What version of the Portal Connector you are on? I will double check if your version supports the Radio Button List. You can check under Administration > Portal Connector Licensing. 
   
   P.S. We are planning to include the PicklistRenderingMode in the Settings' Simple view in the next release of TPC.
   
   Cheers,
   Boris

   Hi Boris,
   
   Thanks for your reply.
   I checked once again under the Advanced settings of the CRM PickList Wizard in the portal but was not able to find any property "PicklistRenderMode".
   
   We are using "The Portal Connector v3.0.7356.2110" version of the portal.

   Hello Sandeep,
   
   Unfortunately, the version you're using doesn't support RadioButtonList rendering mode. You would need to upgrade to a more recent version of TPC. It's my understand that upgrading your system may not be possible due to some customizatons on your end. An alternative to using CRM Picklist would be CRM Rating widget. The difference is whatever rating field you're using in CRM must to be numeric. The CRM Rating allows to set Min and Max value. The look can be customized with custom CSS.

   Hi Boris,
   
   Thanks for the Clarification.
   
   I tried exploring the CRM Rating Widget but without much success. It will be of great help if you can tell how can we apply our custom CSS to change the look of this "CRM Rating Field" Widget.
