Creating CheckboxesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

A checkbox can be in two states: Selected (checked) or not selected. When authors save Edit forms, the system writes one of two values to the referenced schema element or document property depending on whether or not the checkbox is selected.

Procedure

  1. Use Drag&Drop with the secondary mouse button to pull one or more schema elements or document properties from the data model onto the Edit form, and then choose Checkbox from the context menu.

    If you want to create more than one checkbox, each checkbox must reference a different element of the data model.

    You can reference schema elements or document properties that have the data type boolean.

  2. In the control properties for the checkboxes, enter the values in the table below.
