What does the component do?
It is used for the entry of yes/no values.
When should the component be used?
When selecting an option.
When selecting several options that are independent of one another.
Rules
A checkbox is only permitted within forms.
A pre-selection is mandatory (active or inactive, no tristate).
Several checkboxes can be arranged vertically or horizontally. The vertical layout is preferred as it allows the user to understand the options more quickly.
Horizontal layout only for two to three options and short names.
A horizontal layout is not permitted for mobile views.
The text can be multi-line.
In addition to the actual checkbox, the entire text can also be used as a click target.
A title can be inserted above a checkbox group.
A question mark in the circle can also be shown – in addition to the title – for detailed explanations. A tooltip opens when this question mark is clicked on.
