Xpages radio button in a view

Question

I am using a standard view control in xpages which has a checkbox for selecting a number of documents which can then be processed. I would like to add a radio button (yes/no) selection for each document in the view. What's the best and easiest option to achieve this?

edited: what I am looking for is inline editing I guess in an xpages view to edit value of each document in a view using a radio button.

By the way it doesn't have to be a standard view control, I can change it to data tables or repeat controls if that will help me achieve this.

I wouldn't do that, according to UX practices. High count of radiobuttons is nightmare of UI, I think. — Frantisek Kossuth
What are you trying to achieve? is radio button the requirement? — MarkyRoden
There are going to be less than 10 docs in the view, never more and yes radio button is a requirement unfortunately! — pipalia
This is Ecommerce app and these are repeat customers, so when they renew the service, I want to ask them a question for each item when they renew and let them answer in the form of yes/no. — pipalia
What is your "transaction"? Will you have single Save button to update all documents in batch, or you want to update immediately after value change? — Frantisek Kossuth

Could you simply use the Checkbox property in the view column? checkbox property on a view column

Then you could also make use of the SSJS with something like this:

var viewPanel=getComponent("viewPanel1");get the componet of viewPanel
var docIDArray=viewPanel.getSelectedIds(); get the array of document ids
for(i=0;i < docIDArray.length; i++){
    var docId=docIDArray[i];
    var doc=database.getDocumentByID(docId); 
    //.. your code to deal with the selected document
}
