tickbox
Small clickable square
A tickbox is a small square on a form or screen that can be marked with a check or X to indicate a selection: Tick the box if you agree to the terms.
Primarily British; Americans say checkbox.
Figuratively, tickbox describes perfunctory compliance—doing something merely to satisfy a requirement rather than for substance: tickbox exercise, tickbox culture.
