Checkboxes
Learn how to use checkbox fields in GenZform for allowing users to select multiple options from a list.
Checkboxes allow users to select multiple options from a list. Unlike radio buttons, users can check as many options as they want.
When to Use Checkboxes
Checkboxes are perfect for:
- "Select all that apply" questions
- Multiple interest selections

What's the difference between checkboxes and radio buttons?
Checkboxes allow MULTIPLE selections. Radio buttons allow only ONE selection. Use checkboxes for "select all that apply" questions.
Can I require a minimum or maximum number of selections?
Min/max selection limits are not currently supported. You can make the field required so that at least one option must be selected.
How do I add a single checkbox for agreements?
Ask: "Add a required checkbox for 'I agree to the terms and conditions'" for single acknowledgment checkboxes.
