Check box

The checkbox can be used to query simple Yes / No items in a form. For example, you can use this control to indicate that a different billing address is provided.

Configuration

The following options are available in the configuration:

• Title:
  Enter the display name of the control element here. This is displayed to the users so that they know which control it is.
• Internal name:
  The internal name allows you to reference a control in placeholders or rules using a name other than the title. This field does not have to be filled in, but is helpful if you have several controls with the same title in a form.

• Read-only:
  If you mark a field as read-only, the field cannot be filled in by persons. This is particularly useful in combination with a default value in order to display certain values but not be able to change them. For example, you can display which person is currently logged in and accordingly record which person has sent a form.

• Exclude from PDF export:
  The standard PDF export exports all control elements in the form. If you activate this option, the element is not included in the standard PDF export.
  The control element can still be used manually in a document template.

• Label:
  Here you can define the text displayed next to the checkbox. This could be a simple "Yes", or something like "Different billing address".
• Default value:
  Here you can either statically define that this value is always checked by default, or use a placeholder to apply dynamic values.
  In case a placeholder is used, the checkbox will be checked if the value results in "Yes".

• Help text:
  If you enter a value here, a help icon () is displayed next to the control. People can click on this to display the help text. This allows you to give people help on an individual control.

Placeholder

This control provides a placeholder you can use to reference the selection.
If the checkbox is checked, the placeholder value is "Yes". Otherwise, the value is "No".
