Make group of checkboxes mandatory

[Sam M3]

Hi, I'd like to create a group of four mandatory checkboxes, where all of them must be selected before submitting the form. I've attempted to use UI actions, but it hasn't been successful. I would appreciate any suggestions for achieving this. Here's the layout of the checkboxes: I verify that I have: [ ] reviewed [ ] Included [ ] Provided [ ] Tested

You can use "Selection Required" checkbox while creating the checkbox variable. Please see the screenshot below

I have tried that but it didn't work. but I have used another solution to use container variables to separate each checkbox. it works

Hello @Sam M3 ,

Please use below script and check if it's work :

function onSubmit() {
/*******************************************************
/* Purpose: Check to make sure that the user has selected
/*    a checkbox on the Record Producer before submitting
/*    and cancels the submission if none of the checkboxes
/*    are checked
/******************************************************/
    var cbx_equipment = g_form.getValue('equipment');
    var cbx_job_restructuring = g_form.getValue('job_restructuring');
    var cbx_leave = g_form.getValue('leave');
    var cbx_reader_or_interpreter_services = g_form.getValue('reader_or_interpreter_services');
    var cbx_reassignment = g_form.getValue('reassignment');
    var cbx_schedule = g_form.getValue('schedule');
    var cbx_workplace_modification = g_form.getValue('workplace_modification');
    var cbx_workplace_policy = g_form.getValue('workplace_policy');
    var cbx_amended_working_hours = g_form.getValue('amended_working_hours');
    var cbx_other = g_form.getValue('other');

    if (cbx_equipment == 'false' && cbx_job_restructuring == 'false' && cbx_leave == 'false' && cbx_reader_or_interpreter_services == 'false' && cbx_reassignment == 'false' && cbx_schedule == 'false' && cbx_workplace_modification == 'false' && cbx_workplace_policy == 'false' && cbx_amended_working_hours == 'false' && cbx_other == 'false') {
        g_form.clearMessages();
        var msg = getMessage("Please select the type of accommodation(s) that you would like");
        g_form.addErrorMessage(msg);
        return false;
    }
}

Hi Sam,

To make a group of four mandatory checkboxes where all of them must be selected before submitting the form, you can use a UI Policy in ServiceNow. Here's how you can do it:

1. Navigate to the form where the checkboxes are located and click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the form. Select "Configure > UI Policies" from the dropdown menu.

2. Click the "New" button to create a new UI Policy. Give it a name, such as "Mandatory Checkboxes," and add a short description.

3. In the "Conditions" section, add the following condition: current.u_checkbox_group == true

   Note: Replace "u_checkbox_group" with the actual name of the checkbox field that represents the group of four checkboxes.

4. In the "Actions" section, add the following action: current.u_checkbox_1 && current.u_checkbox_2 && current.u_checkbox_3 && current.u_checkbox_4

   Note: Replace "u_checkbox_1," "u_checkbox_2," "u_checkbox_3," and "u_checkbox_4" with the actual names of the four checkbox fields.

5. Click "Submit" to save the UI Policy.

This UI Policy will make all four checkboxes mandatory and prevent the form from being submitted unless all four checkboxes are selected. When the user tries to submit the form without selecting all four checkboxes, they will see an error message indicating that all four checkboxes must be selected.

Thanks,

Rahul Kumar
