Disable checkbox

Function: Disable checkbox​

This action allows you to make a specific Checkbox component on your application's screen unclickable or unselectable. When a checkbox is disabled, users cannot interact with it, meaning they cannot check or uncheck it. This is useful for guiding user input, enforcing business rules, or preventing changes to certain selections under specific conditions.

Input​

  • UI element
    • Description: This is the specific Checkbox component on your application's screen that you want to disable. You will select this directly from your application's design interface.
    • Type: Checkbox UI Element
    • Required: Yes

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output values that can be used in subsequent steps. Its effect is directly visible on the user interface.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

  1. Preventing re-submission of terms:

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: "Agree to Terms and Conditions" checkbox
    • Result: After a user successfully submits a registration form, the "Agree to Terms and Conditions" checkbox becomes disabled, preventing them from accidentally unchecking it or resubmitting the form with different terms.

  2. Conditional availability of an option:

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: "Opt-in for Premium Features" checkbox
    • Result: If a user selects a "Basic Plan" from a dropdown, the "Opt-in for Premium Features" checkbox is automatically disabled, indicating that this option is not available with their current plan selection.

  3. Read-only status for completed tasks:

    • Inputs:
      • UI element: "Task Completed" checkbox
    • Result: Once a project task's status changes to "Completed" in your database, the "Task Completed" checkbox on the task detail screen is disabled, ensuring that its status cannot be accidentally altered by the user.
