Check Box

A check box is an on/off toggle control that allows the user to select one or more options.

To Add a Check Box:

  1. Click Check Box and drag it to the workspace.
  2. Click the Text property and type a label title for the check box.
  3. Click the Field property and assign a field ID.
  4. Click the CheckedValue property and type the value to save into the loan when the check box is selected.
  5. Click the UncheckedValue property and type the value to save if the check box is not selected.

Note: To save a blank value for a check box that is not selected, remove any values from the UncheckedValue property.

Check Box Behaviors

Typically, when you add check boxes to a form they are grouped together and designed so users can select more than one item from a list. However, this is not always the case. For example, if you want the user to specify whether they own or rent their current residence, you can add a "Rent" check box and an "Own" check box, and then restrict the selection to only one. To do this, the check boxes must have the same Field property value, but different CheckedValue properties.

To Allow Only One Check Box to be Selected:

  1. Add two check boxes to the workspace.
  2. Click the first check box, click the Field property, and then click .
  3. Select the Field ID FR0115. (This is the field ID used to indicate if a borrower rents or owns their current residence.)
  4. In the Encompass360 Input Form Builder window, select the CheckedValue for the first check box.

Note: By default, the check box's label matches the selected CheckedValue. Clear the Set control's Text property to selection option's description check box to disable this feature.

  1. If available, select [Empty] No value assigned for the UncheckedValue, and then click OK.
  2. Click the BehaveAsRadio property, click the selection arrow, and then select True.

Note: When set to True, the field's unchecked value is not saved to a database when the user clears the check box.

  1. Click the second check box in the workspace.
  2. Click the Field property, and then click .
  3. Repeat steps 3-6, being sure to select a different CheckedValue than the first check box.
