# Feature: control category checkboxes

![Becky](https://blog.warp-it.co.uk/hubfs/Bec.jpg)

Warp It users sometimes need to get agreements from members when adding or claiming certain items associated with specific risks. 

For example, there may be certain risks around electricals, medical and clinical equipment, or even some types of furniture.

Members need to know about these risks or agree to statements around these risks.

 This feature allows a member uploading a particular category of item, or anyone claiming a particular category of item, to agree to a customisable statement.

Here's a guide to show you how to use this feature.

  

Go to Admin> Settings> Control Users.

 

![null](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2pEDCXLFoKXqK7xKl7ocmVSXoEygGf_M68mQZe9ICAVotAtqD1QdREoMWrBHHWTbkVMcllsOncKODdbtTWeLcPXuMpPkBP3MGjiFiz15Z7H614ubsT7e7ziZrmBoirfc3TBaEfz1nrRuWv7xKQ)

 

Use the Select Category drop down to choose which category to control:

**Enable/disable for upload page** – if enabled the checkbox will be displayed when a user is uploading the specified category on the add item page

**Enable/disable for claim page** – if enabled the checkbox will be displayed when a user is claiming the specified category on the claim item page

A message is displayed stating that the user must agree to the upload/claim.

See below for the message that will appear on the add item page and submission won't be allowed until the box is checked.

 

![null](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/bpoXPp4zt98qfUAwXhQkaFIO1u9puOKk06EenBpXuBfUsYk4VBWec69Ttma7QbEJK1-3-EDvgnOod1WhiAhn0g16AR0gJhP7YsrvHDYJHDQi8sUwLC1l7Dwm-vDgTFUTnhv72nNHdqa3DjS3TA)

 

If the item being claimed is in the controlled category, the claim statement will appear and the item can't be claimed until the checkbox is selected.

See below.

 

![null](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/23BohSgKYe1t3wO-V_uTsoCIc6m8t_GbUe7v2Vda3gX85OOTAk3oBui5VjJAWYSHO-IHu2TiJXBNB7Ry9ddFK9iei0q9Sm63ya_5oWL1nTtjludLhPEmMr_ZPNTsLzAvE7hHSm51xtWSwq_C_Q)

 

 

This will help you reduce risk across the organisation by making members aware of what's expected of them. 

You may want to revisit conversations with stakeholders in your organisation who have been reticent about reuse due to the risks involved as you now have this level of control. This might be space managers, or decontamination and health and safety officers.
