Using Check Boxes
When you insert a check box on a page, it appears with a default label, Dummy Name, until you specify a record definition name and field name, or a text label.
Define the check box control by assigning the appropriate properties.
Setting Check Box Record Properties
To link check boxes with associated record definitions:
Open the Check Box Properties dialog box.
On the Record tab, select the record and field names from the drop-down list boxes.
Enter the enabled and disabled values for the check box.
For example, if the enabled value of the check box is Y for yes and the check box is selected when the user saves the row, then the Y value is written to the database. If the disabled value of the check box is N for no and the check box is deselected when the user saves, then the N value is written to the database.
The enabled and disabled values that you enter validate against the Translate table. If the system does not find a value, it displays a warning message but allows the value to remain. You might find this functionality useful when you create prototype pages before defining record definitions.
Setting Check Box Label and Use Properties
After you link the check box to a record definition and field, set the label properties. Otherwise, the default check box label is the field long name. Set how the check box will be used on the Use tab.
