Checkbox Fields

Checkboxes, also called Boolean fields, are used to indicate that a data type has only two possible values.

Example:   The work order is Hard Locked or it is not.

Checkbox Field Component Information

Use the Form grid with pencil edit component info icon Component Information pop-up to edit the field's properties.

Field Description

Property Name

Identifies the property associated with this field. This relationship helps third-party developers correlate form data with the properties available in the back-end.

Label

Sets the text that will be displayed on the form.

Hidden

Indicates that the field should be hidden. This is useful for simplifying forms while still setting a default values for the field.

Read Only

Designates the field as read-only, which prevents the user from entering data on this form.

Carry Over

Enables/disables the green Carry Over button for the selected field. To prevent users from seeing Carry Over buttons throughout the entire form, the grid the form is attached to must be edited to hide the Display Carry Over Buttons button. More details

Note:  Fields marked as read-only never display the Carry Over button in EAM Web, even if this option is enabled.

Default Value

Determines whether the checkbox is marked automatically when a new record is created. Unless the field is marked as read-only, the user can overwrite the default before submitting the form.
