Real-Life Examples​

  1. Retrieving a "Terms and Conditions" checkbox

    • Inputs:

      • Element (variable name): "MyTermsCheckbox"
    • Result: The checkbox element with the unique code "terms_agreement_checkbox" is found on the current form and stored in a variable named "MyTermsCheckbox". You can then use "MyTermsCheckbox" in a subsequent action to check if the user has agreed to the terms.

      • Element (variable name): "OptInCheckbox"
    • Result: The checkbox element for "marketing_opt_in" is found and stored in a variable named "OptInCheckbox". You can then use this "OptInCheckbox" variable to check its current state (e.g., if it's checked or unchecked) to determine the user's preference for marketing communications.
