  • Introduction​


    The checkbox element allows you to add a group of checkboxes to your form.

    The user can then select none, one or several of these checkboxes. The details of which checkboxes have been chosen are stored in a single field in the database in JSON format.

    Settings​



    Note: The checkboxes are defined in the Sub Elements section of the form.

    • Options per row - The number of check boxes to show per row.
    • Add - Press this to add in a new checkbox
    • Value - The value that is stored in the database if the checkbox is selected
    • Label - The label that appears next to the checkbox. Equally this label is shown in the table view rather than the recorded value (which is stored in the database table itself)
    • Default - is the option selected as default
    • Delete - Press this to delete the checkbox
    Note: you can reorder the sub Elements by clicking down on the grey bar to the side of the value field and dragging it within the list.

    Defaults​

    • Default Value - If no checkbox selected this value will be stored in the database.
    • Default Label - If no checkbox selected this value will be shown in the fabrik table
    Add Options

    • Enabled - Allow your form's users to add in additional Options to your form.
    • Only add label - If no selected then the user has to enter both a value and a label for the checkbox option they are adding. If yes selected then only a label field is presented to the user the value of which is then used for the value and label.
    • Save new additions - If yes selected then the newly submitted option is stored by the element, meaning subsequent users of the form will be able to select the same value.
    Advanced​

    • Separator - String separator to be used when formatting the data contained within the form email plug-in. Leave blank to default to a new line.

    JS code Examples​

    A checkbox to clear all checkboxes​
    Say we have four sub Elements, with values 1,2,3,4 and when the fourth element is clicked we want to uncheck the other checkboxes. Edit the element, add a new Javascript event:

    Action: click

    Code:
    var v = event.target.get('value');
    if (v === '4' && event.target.checked) {
    this.subElements.each(function (a) {
    if(a.value !== '4') {
    a.checked = false;
    }
    });
    }
