Sources for checkbox, select and radio

There are 3 types of form elements that propose data to the end user for selection (checkbox, select and radio): Manual, Database and Database relation:

See Create a new form for details on these elements. They to configure data in these elements is the same for all 3. The following methods are supported:

Manual

This is the default. In this case you define the options a user can choose from directly in the properties window.

Items can be added by clicking the ‘'+” button and entering:

• A key: this is a technical key that needs to be entered and needs to be unique.

• This is the label that will be shown to the actor. The label cannot be translated.

• Default determines whether the checkbox is checked or unchecked by default.

Database

See Databases for background info on how to create a database.

Once the database table is created, a table can be selected here. The values that are shown to the operator are taken from that table. If a value is added to the database it will be added here as well.

If a value needs to be selected by default, this has to be configured in this section.

Database relation

See Databases for background info on how to create a database and relations.

The objective of a database relation is to present options based on a value selected in an earlier field. The result can be seen in the video bellow:

The database relation can be selected from the relation dropdown:

Only relations that are based on a database element that was used in the form will be shown here.
