Check box - Options listing as below:
|
Facilities Needed
|
Facilities_Needed
|

|
Single Line
|
Previously Selected

Previously_Selected
|
The
Facilities Needed
field is a checkbox, which will list all common facilities needed during a tour or a vacation, with options like Accommodation, Food, Tour Guides, Tickets, and Car Rentals.
Complete Package
option would include everything in the list. When a tourist selects this option, automatically every other checkbox is selected. Similarly, when a tourist unselects this, every option is unselected, making it open for them to choose just the options they want.
The
Previously Selected
field is used to track the options selected by the tourists to allow them better selection of the options. This is not necessary for them, so let's create a workflow to hide the field.
2. Create a workflow to hide the
Previously Selected
field on the load of the form.
3. Add the below code in the Deluge Editor to hide it.
-
hide Previously_Selected;
4. Now, we shall proceed to our checkboxes. Let's create a workflow to execute on the input of the
Facilities Needed
field.
3. Add the below code in the Deluge Editor:
-
//Get the previous selection
-
selectedList = input.Facilities_Needed;
-
//Get the number of options selected
-
size = selectedList.size();
-
//When current selection has Complete Package select all
-
if(selectedList.contains("Complete Package") && !input.Previously_Selected.contains("Complete Package"))
-
{
-
Facilities_Needed.selectall();
-
input.Previously_Selected = selectedList;
-
}
-
//When the Previously Selected has Complete Package deselect all
-
else if(input.Previously_Selected.contains("Complete Package") && !selectedList.contains("Complete Package"))
-
{
-
Facilities_Needed.deselectall();
-
input.Previously_Selected = selectedList;
-
}
-
//When Previously Selected and Facilities Needed do not have Complete Package and all the 5 options are selected, select all
-
else if(size == 5 && !Previously_Selected.contains("Complete Package") && !selectedList.contains("Complete Package"))
-
{
-
Facilities_Needed.selectall();
-
//Append Complete Package to the Previously Selected field for next selection
-
input.Previously_Selected = selectedList.toString() + ",Complete Package";
-
}
-
//When Previously Selected has Complete Package and all the 5 options are selected, deselect Complete Package
-
else if(size == 5 && input.Previously_Selected.contains("Complete Package"))
-
{
-
Facilities_Needed.deselect("Complete Package");
-
//Remove Complete Package from the Previously Selected field for next selection
-
input.Previously_Selected = selectedList.toString().replaceAll("Complete Package","");
-
}
