Function: Get value of Check box field​

Input​

  • UI element
    • Description: This is the specific Checkbox UI element on your form from which you want to get the selected answers.
    • Type: UI element (specifically a "checkbox-field")
    • Required: Yes

Output​

  • Answer
    • Description: This is the name of the variable where the list of selected choices (as text values) will be stored. If no choices are selected, the variable will contain an empty list.
    • Type: List of Text
    • Default Value: CHECKBOX_FIELD_ANSWER

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Example 1: Capturing User Preferences​

Imagine you have a form where users can select their preferred communication methods (Email, SMS, Phone).

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Communication_Preferences_Checkbox (This is the checkbox field on your form)
    • Answer: User_Communication_Choices
  • Result: If the user selects "Email" and "SMS", the variable User_Communication_Choices will contain a list like ["EMAIL", "SMS"]. You can then use this list to send notifications through the chosen channels.

Example 2: Validating Agreement to Terms​

You have a form with a checkbox for users to agree to your terms and conditions before submitting.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Terms_And_Conditions_Checkbox
    • Answer: Agreed_To_Terms
  • Result: If the user checks the box, the variable Agreed_To_Terms will contain ["AGREED"]. If they don't check it, the variable will be an empty list []. You can then use a condition to check if Agreed_To_Terms is not empty before allowing form submission.

Example 3: Filtering Product Options​

On an e-commerce site, users can select multiple features for a product (e.g., "Wi-Fi", "Bluetooth", "GPS").

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Product_Features_Checkbox
    • Answer: Selected_Product_Features
  • Result: If the user selects "Wi-Fi" and "GPS", the variable Selected_Product_Features will contain ["WIFI", "GPS"]. This list can then be used to dynamically display product details or filter available products based on the chosen features.
