Description

(Appears only when this field is in a section included within the current open rule.) Click to open the section that immediately contains the field.

Select or type a property reference that identifies a single text value and has a Property Type of TrueFalse. (If you are only prototyping a form and the property you want to reference is not yet defined, use the template property .pyTemplateCheckBox)

Alternatively, you can drag a property name from the lists of properties visible in the Application Explorer. Typically, this works for Single Value properties belonging to in the Applies to class of the current rule (or a higher class).

Click the pencil icon () to review the property rule (if the reference is to an existing property in the Applies To class of this rule or a parent of that class). If the property is not found, the New dialog box for the property form appears.

You can reference properties on any page identified on the Pages & Classes tab, using the normal notation pagename.propertyname for pages other than the page corresponding to the Applies To class of the rule.

If this field is in a cell of a section that includes parameter declarations on the Parameters tab, you can enter the notation param.NAME here, to use a parameter value for the field, where NAME identifies a string parameter. Make sure that the NAME parameter is declared on the Parameters tab, and that your application provides a non-blank value for the parameter value in all possible situations where the section appears. See Section rules — Completing the Parameter tab. Proj-1424

To represent the property as a checkbox, keep the value CheckBox.

Click the magnifying glass icon ()to supply parameter values for this Control rule. All parameters are optional.

Click OK to save parameter values.

If this checkbox is within a section that itself has parameters (defined on the Parameters tab of the Section form), you can reference a section parameter to supply a control rule parameter value, with the normal notation PARAM.Name. PROJ-1424

Optional. Leave blank if no dynamic form actions to other parts of the form are to occur based on user updates or values for this field. C-1990
