Check box tool - question

Gamaliel

Hello,

 

How can I configure the checkbox tools to have only one check box selected? In the picture below, if the checkbox for SAP is selected, it should be impossible for other checkbox (Netsuite and Quickbooks Online) to be checked. What I am saying is, there should be only one checkbox to be selected at a time. See also attached app.

Hi @Gamaliel 

 

If you want only one option among 3 options to be selected at a time you need to use radio button. Radio button is for single selection and check box is multiple selection.

 

Hope this helps : )

Okay. I tried using the radio button. But my goal is to hide all of the subcontents when the is parent tool is unselected. The disadvantage with radio button is that there is a default selection upon opening. With checkbox, there is none.

 

If radio tool is the only option, is it possible to have no default selection?

 

Thanks.

Hi @Gamaliel 

 

Radio button is the best option to go with check box doesn't have default select single option. If you want to collapse all option by default to can do something like this.

You can add a None radio button which is selected by default later user can use the desired option.

 

Hope this helps : )
