Multistate small checkboxes

Use multistate small checkboxes to allow users to select one or more options from a list where options can have a blocked state.

List the options in alphabetical order, unless there’s a specific reason to use a different order.

Each option should be:

  • capitalised
  • unselected by default

Do not use checkboxes if users can only select one option, use Radio buttons instead.

Where options will never be blocked off, use Checkboxes.
