CheckList Functions

The checklist dropdown inserts

• Recently used lists
• Single checkbox elements
• Newly created lists

Multiple checkboxes and/or checklists can be inserted into an article.

Create Checkboxes

With checkboxes you can create simple to-do lists

Insert Checkbox : A checkbox is a single checkbox element. You insert a checkbox by clicking the Menu Icon or the 'Checklist elements' dropdown item. Ticking the checkbox in view mode alternates the checkbox hook between false and checked and updates the article's version history, edit mode doesn't update the history. Wikicode: The Code Editor (i.e. not the WYSIWYG Editor) edits checklist tags. i.e. the value="" unchecked states table below or the color hex codes further below. Clicking the inserts only. You need to add the Prepare Mail identifier.

<bs:checklist value="checked" /> Prepare Mail <bs:checklist value="false" /> Book Hotel

Creating Lists

Screenshot : Prepare article list in seperate template

Prepare Checklist : In order to insert a checklist in an article, you must first create a checklist template that contains the necessary check list elements. This is done by creating a new article in the Template namespace. For example create a new article named 'Template:Status'. Then in the Code Editor (i.e. not the WYSIWYG Editor) ad the check list items as exampled above, as a list. Save the Template and remember the Template's name as you need to add this name to Insert list dialogue below. Assign colors : To facilitate visibility, you can assign list element colors. This is done by entering the pipe symbol ( straight line ) after the item identifier followed by a HEX color code.

* Prepare Mail| #FF9900 * Book Hotel| #00FF00

Assign colors

To support element status visibility color codes can be linked to the list elements. This is done by adding the pipe symbol (straight line) after the list element name followed by the HEX color Code.

Typical colors;

Colour	Name	HEX-Code
	black	#000000
	grey	#888888
	red	#FF0000
	orange	#FF8800
	green	#00FF00
	blue	#0000FF
	magenta	#FF00FF

Screenshot Checklist WYSIWYG

Insert checklist : The WYSIWYG Editor checklist dropdown arrow enables you to insert checklists into your articles. You simply click a previously used template or as in this case add a new checklist. To insert a new checklist, select the Insert list item in the dropdown. Then in the popup click on the + sign to add a new template. You must now enter the exact template title created above. Clicking " Ok " inserts the template's checklist items into your current article.

Example of Checklist being used for employee and status allocations.
