Choose Multiple

The Choose Multiple field shows several checkboxes that allow the user to make multiple selections. You can show the checkboxes horizontally, instead of vertically, by changing the setting in Advanced Options.

If you want form users to be able to select only one option, you should use the Choose One field instead.

Basic setup

  1. In the Form Fields panel (left-hand side), drag the Choose Multiple field onto your form.

  2. Type the question or name.

  3. In the Choices area, type a list of options.

  4. (Optional) Select if answering this question is compulsory.

  5. Click Save & Close.

Show advanced options

Click the Show Advanced Options button to reveal additional controls and functionality, as the following table explains.

Option Description

Question (Label)

Show a different field label (instead of the field name) on the form. When a Question (Label) is specified, it will override the Question (Name) on your form.

Using this feature you can:

* Show multiple fields with the same question or label.

* Use internal field names for reporting purposes, but show user-friendly field labels on the form.

Assign numeric values for your options

Assign values to options to automate calculations within a form. Read the Calculation field section for more information.

Read-only - do not allow entry into this field

Lock a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to change it.

Hidden - do not show this field on the online form

Hide a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to see it.

Pre-select one or more default choices

Show choices/options with checkboxes selected. For example, you may want to give form users the option to opt out (rather than opt in) of certain types of communications.

Hide the question (only show the answer box)

Only show the input field (without the question/name).

Further instructions

Add some informative text just below the field.

Show choices:- Vertically, below each other / Horizontally, next to each other

The default setting displays choices/options stacked vertically (suitable for larger lists). You can change this to display the choices/options side by side (suitable for a short list).

Show/hide this field with conditional logic

Hide this field until certain conditions/responses in other fields are met. For more information, read the Conditional logic section.
