Add a Check Box
Check Boxes are a great way to allow your site’s visitors an opportunity to choose one, several , or all of the choices for a given question; i.e., which days of the week are available, or how did you hear about us, etc.
As with most of the elements for Form Builder, you will need to label the Check Box in the text field on the left side of the element once it has been added to the Work Space. This will give visitors to your site a good idea of the kind of response you want to the options you present them.
You can set the options for the Check Box by clicking on the Options button, indicated by the Bullet Points icon. Here you can choose the available responses from a preset group (i.e., Days of the Week, Months, etc.), or you can enter your own choices by typing them into the text field below menu box in the Options screen.
Properties for the Check Box
Make This Item Required:
Check this box if you’d like to make the Check Box a required item in order to submit the form.
Validate This Item As:
The different choices here allow you to set restrictions on what characters are acceptable in the text field when the form is submitted;
None:
All characters will be acceptable in the field.
E-mail:
The text field will accept only characters written as an e-mail address.
Alphabetic:
The field will accept the input of alphabetic letters.
Numeric:
Only numbers will be accepted if this option is selected.
Alphanumeric:
Both letter and numbers are acceptable input if this option is chosen.
Set Lengths:
The value in this field corresponds to the width of the Check Box field itself.
Label Alignment:
The choices in this menu box allow you to set the alignment of the text that appears in the label area for the Check Box.
Options:
The default options for the Check Box tool are in pairs, i.e., gender, true/false; but you can add more than two options if you choose the Custom and enter your choices into the text field beneath the drop-down menu in the Options screen.
