CMS: Adding and Setting Up a Checkbox
4 min read
Before you begin:
To use this element, you must add CMS to your site and set up a collection to store the user inputs.
There are 2 main uses for checkboxes:
- A single checkbox, which allows visitors to mark their response as either "yes" or "no". A common use of this type of checkbox is asking visitors if they agree to your terms of use. If they select the checkbox, that's considered as a "yes".
- A multi checkbox, which allows you to provide a list of options to your visitors and lets them select one or more option (as opposed to radio buttons which only allow visitors to select a single option).
Add a checkbox or multi checkbox to your site to collect input from your site visitors. Connect the checkbox to a collection to store your visitors' selections.
