Decision Box

Decision box field

The Decision Box field allows users to indicate their agreement or disagreement by checking or unchecking the box associated with a specific option. It provides several properties to customize the user experience and capture decision-related data effectively.

  1. Initial State: You can set a default status for the Decision Box, defining whether the box should be initially checked (indicating agreement) or unchecked (indicating disagreement) when the form loads.
  2. State Display Message: Depending on the checked or unchecked status of the Decision Box, you can customize the State Display Message. This customized message is utilized in various contexts such as email notifications, Zoho Sheets integration, Google Sheets integration, reports, entries, approvals, and tasks. This customization ensures that the decision status is clearly conveyed and understood.
  3. Prefill Decision Box State in Redirected Forms/Websites: If you have configured to prefill the Decision Box state from the current form to a redirected form or website, the decision status of the current form will be applied to the redirected form or website. This allows for continuity in decision statuses when users move from one form to another, ensuring a seamless and consistent user experience. Refer to the FAQ for more details.

Validation

  1. Mandatory: Ensure that respondents cannot submit the form without selecting the checkbox in this field. For example, consider a scenario where a user must make a critical decision in the form, and submitting the form without making this decision is not allowed. In such cases, you can make the Decision Box field mandatory.

Implementation Tips:

  • Clear Labels: Use clear and concise labels for the Decision Box and its associated options to avoid confusion.
  • Consistent Messaging: Ensure that the State Display Message is consistent with the context in which it is used to maintain clarity in communication.
  • User Guidance: If necessary, provide instructions or additional information to guide users in making informed decisions.
