Checkbox

When and how to present checkboxes to users, including form layout and ordering guidance.

Checkboxes provide users with a range of options for a given statement where the user may select any number of choices, including zero, one or multiple. In a form, always place checkboxes underneath each other to aid in a user's ability to scan the form.

Guidelines

  • Avoid checkboxes with actions that are the opposite of what the user expects.
  • The default view for checkboxes has no option selected.
  • Checkbox options should be listed in a logical order (alphabetical, numerical, time-based, etc).
