Checkbox

Use Checkboxes when you want users to choose one or more items from a list. This field allows for multi-select input, making it ideal for things like selecting skills, equipment, or preferences where more than one choice may apply.

How to Add a FreshForms Checkbox Field#

1. Edit the page where you want to add the form.
2. Click the “Insert More Content” button (usually represented by a “+” icon).
3. From the dropdown, select Other Macros.
4. Then type FreshForms- scroll and select FreshForms Checkbox.

This will insert a FreshForms Checkbox within the Container Macro.
