The link was for property promotion when you have a multi-select list box. However, if you are going to use individual checkboxes, just add them to your form and promote each one :)

Sounds like it's better to use individual fields to come up with that desired layout. Thank you for providing the link on how to publish checkboxes to SharePoint library. Sorry this is my first time to create checkboxes in InfoPath form library. I wonder if you can have any sample form for this, it would help a lot. Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated.

So - you may want to use individual fields instead of a list box / multi-select to achieve your desired layout. If you use a multi-select, you end up with a repeating field with all the values - you can promote that as merged, when you publish the form - when you promote a repeating field, there is a dropdown that shows up that lets you determine how to aggregate the data - you can find a screenshot in this post: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/63420083-986f-411f-ac76-d5455a3f3e65/infopath-form-multiple-selection-list-box-save-into-library?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious

Hi,

Thank you for your quick response. I am using check boxes with multiple selections in a form library. I wonder if I can move around checkboxes inside on field like the attached design in a two-column, it would be great so that I don't have to create more than one field for each checkbox instead of creating all checkboxes in one field.

In addition, how do I populate the multiple selected checkboxes from InfoPath form to SharePoint form library? I mean I want each selected checkboxes appearing on SharePoint column. Thanks so much for your help.

So - do you mean change the order of the options in the list box? What provides the data for your multiselect? Is it something that has been hard coded? Or a secondary data source? Is this a list form or a library form?

Hi, I am trying to create check boxes with multiple selections in InfoPath form but I am unable to move/rearrange check boxes around inside the field. I wonder is it possible to do this, see attached for details? Thanks so much for your help. Much appreciated.
