Configure a Single Choice field

The Style and Required settings for the Single Choice field control how choices look and behave when users fill out a form.

Field panel settings

Style

Controls how the Single Choice field looks and behaves for users filling out the form. Options include:

• Radio: Displays all available options in a vertical list next to round selection buttons. 

  

• Boxes: Displays all available options (from two to five choices) in a single row of tappable boxes. 

  

Required

Makes the Single Choice field mandatory. Users must enter a value before moving to the next screen or submitting the form.

Form Visible

Determines whether a field is visible or not visible to the submitter when filling out a form. The setting is turned on by default. When turned off, the submitter will not see the field but it will show up on the submission.  

Single Choice field values on PDFs

The Standard PDF and Quick Start PDF will not display the full list of Choices. Only the Choice selected in the submission will be shown as plain text.

When editing submission data in the web portal, the list of predefined Choices does not appear and the field value must be updated manually. Alternatively, the user can edit the submission on mobile or Edit in Web Client from the Submissions page.
