Check Box
Introduction
A Check box widget is used to display and, optionally, allow the end-user to edit the value of an attribute of data type Boolean. It displays a tick if the value is true and remain empty if it is false.
A checkbox must be placed in a data widget and displays an attribute of the object(s) retrieved by that widget. The name of the attribute to be displayed is shown inside the checkbox widget, between square brackets, and colored blue.
For example, this checkbox allows you to see, and set, whether someone is subscribed to your newsletter.
Properties
An example of checkbox properties is represented in the image below:
Checkbox properties consist of the following sections:
Common Section
Data Source Section
This selects which attribute will be used within the widget. You can only select attributes which have the correct data type(s).
For more information on selecting a data source, see the Data Source Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
Design Properties Section
Editability Section
Editability determines whether an end-user can change the value in an input widget.
For more information on properties of this section, see the Editability Section section of Properties Common in the Page Editor.
Events Section
On Change
The on-change property specifies an action that will be executed when leaving the widget, either by using the Tab key or by clicking another widget, after the value has been changed.
On Enter
The on-enter property specifies an action that will be executed when the widget is entered, either by using the Tab key or by clicking it with the mouse.
On Leave
The on-leave property specifies an action that will be executed when leaving the widget, either by using the Tab key or by clicking another widget.
This differs from the On change property in that the event will always be triggered, even if the value has not been changed.
Label Section
A label describes the purpose of a widget to the end-user.
For more information on properties of this section, see the Label Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
Visibility Section
Visibility determines whether a widget is displayed to the end-user as part of the page.
For more information on properties of this section, see the Visibility Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.
