How to have one "master" checkbox select multiple checkboxes below

GDHernandez

Good Afternoon.

I am using the Smartsheet template "New Employee Onboarding" and was hoping to have one "master" checkbox on (New Hire Access/Hardware Request). My goal is to have the option to click on the check box to the left of New Hire Access and auto fill the checkboxes for Laptop, Monitors, etc.

Any help is appreciated - thank you!

Hi @GDHernandez

I hope you're well and safe!

You can use =PARENT() in the Childen rules to check them automatically.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thank you for the quick response, Andree.

Forgive my ignorance, but where would I enter the =PARENT()? Would I need to include row numbers as well?

Thanks again.

Happy to help!

You'd add it in the checkboxes underneath the "main" one.

@Andrée Starå Thank you so much! It turns out I wrote a formula in the "main" one, and it wasn't allowing it to populate. This works now just how I envisioned it.

Thank you so much! Very appreciated.
