Add a checkbox field

A checkbox field is an element that needs to be checked by the participant when processing the document.

When you first add a checkbox field to a document, a checkbox group with a unique ID is automatically created.

Note that you can’t add checkbox fields:

• on a document that has already been processed by a participant,
• on a document that already contains a signature (before being imported to the transaction).

To add a checkbox field to a document:

1. Select the document page where you want to add the checkbox field.

2. Drag the checkbox field from the left sidebard Fields and drop it in the document page.

3. Assign a participant to the checkbox group.

4. Add other checkboxes to the checkbox group if needed.

Note that by default, a checkbox group is optional. However, you can make it required in the field parameters.

Update a checkbox group/a checkbox field

Once created, every checkbox group or checkbox field bears a unique ID. However, you can replace the unique ID with a unique name.

Requirements

• Make sure that a checkbox group’s name is used only once within the same document (including radio button groups).
• Make sure that a checkbox name is used only once within the same group.

Duplicate a checkbox field

You can duplicate a checkbox field and add it to the same document or to another document of the transaction.

• When you duplicate a checkbox field in the same document (no matter the page number), a new field with a new ID is added to the same group.

• When you duplicate a checkbox field in another document of the transaction:
  • if the target document already contains a checkbox group with the same name as in the original document, a checkbox field with a new ID is added to it and inherits the group’s attributes (such as the assigned signer).
  • if the target document has no checkbox group with the same name as in the original document, a new checkbox group is created with the same name as in the original document and a checkbox field with a new ID is added to it.

Note that you cannot duplicate a checkbox group.

Move a checkbox field

You can move a checkbox field within the same document or to another document of the transaction.

• When you move a checkbox field to another page of the same document, the field keeps its original parameters and remains in the same group.

• When you move a checkbox field to another document of the transaction:
  • if the target document already contains a checkbox group with the same name as in the original document, the checkbox is added to it and inherits the group’s attributes (such as the assigned signer).
  • if the target document has no checkbox group with the same name as in the original document, a new checkbox group is created with the same name as in the original document and the checkbox field is added to it.

Note that you cannot move a checkbox group.

Delete a checkbox field

You can delete either checkboxes individually or the whole checkbox group from a document as long as no signer is assigned to it.
