Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Remove Check box choice" action in your application:

Example 1: Removing an outdated product option​

Imagine you have a product order form with a checkbox field for "Add-on Services." If a particular service becomes unavailable, you can use this action to remove it dynamically.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Add_on_Services_Checkbox (the checkbox field on your order form)
    • Code of choice to remove: EXTENDED_WARRANTY_2023
  • Result: The "Extended Warranty 2023" option is immediately removed from the Add_on_Services_Checkbox field, preventing customers from selecting an unavailable service.

Example 2: Dynamically adjusting survey options based on previous answers​

Consider a survey where certain options in a checkbox question become irrelevant based on an earlier answer. You can remove those options to streamline the user experience.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Preferred_Communication_Methods (a checkbox field in your survey)
    • Code of choice to remove: FAX_COMMUNICATION
  • Result: If a user indicates they don't have a fax machine in a previous question, the FAX_COMMUNICATION choice is removed from the Preferred_Communication_Methods checkbox, making the survey more relevant for them.

Example 3: Restricting feature access based on user roles​

In an internal application, you might have a checkbox field for "Available Features" where some features are only for administrators. For regular users, you can remove the admin-specific options.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: User_Feature_Permissions (a checkbox field on a user profile page)
    • Code of choice to remove: MANAGE_GLOBAL_SETTINGS
  • Result: When a non-admin user views their profile, the MANAGE_GLOBAL_SETTINGS choice is removed from the User_Feature_Permissions checkbox, ensuring they cannot accidentally enable or disable admin-level features.
