Checkbox Field
Use the checkbox field to collect information in a form.
The checkbox field is a field you often see on forms. It prompts the user to check a box when they agree or disagree with the information you provide. Please refer to the Add a Field or the Edit and Delete Fields pages for more information on fields.
The options you have when configuring this field are:
- Field Label: Add a title to the checkbox field.
- Field Help: Add a guide to the checkbox field to help a user understand what to do.
- Format: Plain text or HTML options. Note: Leave as Plain text.
- Required: Check this box if you require an entry in this field.
- Default: The value the field will have when first loaded.
- Validator: Choose to validate whether the checkbox is checked or not checked. Note: We do not recommend setting validation on form fields, as it generally leads to users having trouble submitting the form.
- True Display String: This is the value that will be displayed in a mailer email or in the save data adapter if the box is checked.
- False Display String: This is the value that will be displayed in a mailer email or in the save data adapter if the box is not checked.
These are seen from top to bottom when you either have added the field or are editing it.
Below is an example of what the checkbox field looks like when added to your form.
