Survey Fields - Dropdown List

Updated over 2 weeks ago

A Dropdown List Field is used when you would like to offer a group of drop-down fields. The "Dropdown List" field properties may be set once the field is clicked on.

Field Label: This property is the text placed next to the form field that describes the type of data you want visitors to input.

Options: Set the field to be "Required" or “Masked” by clicking the checkbox accordingly.

  • Required: Checking this option will force the user to fill out this field. An error message will be displayed if this field is left blank.

  • Masked Field: Replaces the field data with asterisks (*) in the submission email. This data will still be viewable in the Data Manager.

Show Field to: Set the field to be “Everyone” or "Admin Only" by selecting that radio button.

Statements: You can edit the Statements/Questions in the text fields and add/delete them by clicking the “+”/”-” icons. The statements can be displayed in Randomized or Alphabetized order.

  • Randomize Statements: The statements will be shown in a random order every time the field is viewed.

  • Alphabetize Statements: The statements will be shown in alphabetical order.

Choices: You can use the “+” and “-” buttons to add and delete choices. Click on the checkbox to make a choice the default selection. You can use a placeholder by checking the checkbox to add an option as a placeholder, like “Please Select”, “Make Choice”, or you can also leave it blank. Please note, if the field is required, this will force the user to make a selection. The options can be displayed in Randomized or Alphabetize order.

  • Randomize Statements: The statements will be shown in a random order every time the field is viewed.

  • Alphabetize Statements: the statements will be shown in alphabetical order.

To import predefined choices, such as a list of Countries, Days, and Months, you can click the ‘Import Predefined Choices’, select a list, and add it to your field. You can customize the choices before or after adding.

Field ID: This property is a unique value assigned to a specific field. It can be used in conjunction with dynamic tokens to insert entry data to customize the AutoResponder confirmation message. Note: This value is assigned after a form has been saved.

Once you set the field options, please do not forget to click "Save Form" to save your work.
