Checklist

The Checklist is part of the Ionic Layout Component Set. Create anything from a task list to a shopping list in any app. The Component is designed to be added numerous times to a single app page, creating a checklist of multiple items. When a user checks a checklist item, that selection is saved in local storage of the user's device. The selection is stored on the device until the user clears their cache.

Ideas for Using Checklist

• Ensure app users know what to do to prepare for an upcoming conference. Add multiple checklist components to a Page, with each one detailing a step for the conference.
• Use the Checklist Component to display important items to bring to an upcoming event. Studio users can choose to link each item to another Page in the app, or to an external link or document. 

If you prefer a simple list without the ability to mark completed items, check out List.
