Check boxes

Use check boxes for binary options that users can understand easily. For example, use a check box for an option that can
be turned on and off.
Users can perform the following action with a check box:
Action using the navigation
User goal
keys
Select a check box. Click the trackpad.
Best practice: Implementing check boxes
• Use check boxes when users can select multiple options.
• Do not start an action when users select a check box. For example, do not open a new screen.
• Align check boxes vertically.
• Group and order check boxes logically (for example, group related options together or include the most common
options first). Avoid ordering check boxes alphabetically; alphabetical order is language-specific.
Guidelines for labels
• Use clear, concise labels. Verify that the label clearly describes what occurs when users select the check box.
• Use positive labels where possible. For example, if users have the option of turning on or turning off a feature, use "turn
on" instead of "turn off" in the label.
