Assigning data to a Checkbox

Example:

To display a checked Checkbox when the value retrieved by a SQL query equals ‘True’ (or a similar value, like ‘Yes’):

1. Use an appropriate Event, e.g. Load (page) or Click (button) to which a Decision and a SetValue action can be added.
2. Add an If/Else Decision action to determine the value of the variable.
3. If the value is ‘True’, add a SetValue action to assign the ‘True’ value and the checked state to the CheckBox’s Checked property.
