Checkbox

The widget displays a Yes/No switch variable as a checkbox with a label shown to the right of it. This widget is convenient when the label text is long and you want it to fit on a single line on a form or page.

checkbox_00

If a user selects the checkbox in the Checkbox widget, the value Yes is written to the linked context variable.

Configure the Checkbox widget

As an example, let’s add the widget to a task form in a business process:

  1. In the process context, create a variable of the Yes/No switch type named Address. Its value will be used by the widget.
  2. Open the task form in the interface designer and place the Checkbox widget onto the canvas.
  3. Configure the widget on the Main tab by filling in the following fields:

checkbox_01

  • Value*. Select the Yes/No switch variable that will be displayed in the widget;
  • Label. Enter the text to be shown to the right of the checkbox;
  • Read only. Enable this option if you want to display a value that was filled in earlier. In this case, the value will be available for viewing only.
    For example, during a process an employee receives a task and confirms their agreement with company policies using a Yes/No switch. The selected value is saved to a context variable. To display this information in the employee profile, add a Checkbox widget to the form with the label Employee agrees with the company policies. Depending on the decision made, the checkbox will be selected or not.
  • Required field. Enable this option if the user must select the checkbox, for example on a task form used to confirm that a document has been reviewed.
  1. On the Events and System tabs, you can configure system settings that are common to all widgets.
  1. Save the widget settings.
  2. To make the configured form available to users, click Save and Publish on the top panel of the interface designer.
