Checkbox Group
A checkbox group lets users select multiple values from a list.
Checkbox groups are useful for many-to-many selections such as genres, skills, services, access rights, available features, or other sets where more than one choice can apply. They are input components for selecting multiple related values.
When to Use It
Use a checkbox group when users should see all available options and may select several of them.
Checkbox groups work well for short or medium-length lists where seeing the full set helps decision-making. For larger or frequently changing vocabularies, Tagger is often easier to scan and maintain.
What Can Be Configured
Options
The available choices can come from a related value list. They can be grouped under headings when the list covers several categories.
Layout
Options can be split into columns so long lists do not become a single tall stack. The group label should explain the decision the user is making.
Behaviour
Each checked option connects the current record to that value. This makes checkbox groups suitable for reporting and filtering by multiple selected categories.
