Mandatory Boolean parameter

Sometimes you may need to make sure that the user sets a Boolean parameter to the True value (checks a checkbox or switches a toggle to Yes) before proceeding to request the offer. Typical examples of this checkbox use are agreeing to the Terms and conditions or a confirmation of having read an important document related to the offer.

Note that while the term mandatory usually means 'must have a value', in this context mandatory means 'must be set to True'.

Example: A checkbox to confirm having read a linked document

Let's consider an offer for ordering a company car in accordance with an existing company car policy. The requestor is obliged to read a linked Company car policy document before proceeding to submit the order.

  1. Make the Company car policy document available as a hyperlink parameter of the offer.

  2. Create a Boolean parameter of the checkbox type. Set its default value to Unchecked.

  3. Set Checkbox must be checked to True and use the tooltip fields to provide proper guidance.

  4. With the new Boolean parameter saved, rearrange the parameters of the offer so that the Boolean parameter follows immediately after the related hyperlink parameter.
