Choose Multiple

The Choose Multiple field is used to display a number of checkboxes that allow the form user to make multiple selections. You can display the checkboxes horizontally, instead of vertically, by changing the setting in Advanced Options.

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

Basic setup

In the Form Fields panel (left-hand side), click and drag the Choose Multiple field onto your form.
Enter the question or name.
In the Choices area, enter a list of options.
(Optional) Tick if answering this question is compulsory.
Save & Close.

Show advanced options

Advanced options provide additional controls and functionality as explained in the table below.

Option	Tick this if you want to…
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. For example, you may want to: show multiple fields with the same question or label, or 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. To learn more, see Calculation Field.
Read-only – don’t 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 don’t want form users to change it.
Hidden – don’t 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 don’t want form users to see it.
Pre-select one or more default choices	Show choices/options with checkboxes ticked. 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	Display 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. To learn more, see Show/hide fields based on conditions.
