What the checkbox field does
The checkbox field maps to an Airtable Checkbox field type. It renders as a toggle or checkbox that the respondent can check or uncheck. The value is stored astrue (checked) or false (unchecked) in Airtable.
Field-specific settings
The checkbox field has no field-specific settings beyond the universal field settings (label, description, required, show/hide rules, conditional read-only, and validation).Using checkboxes in conditional logic
Checkbox fields are commonly used as conditions in display rules and page visibility. The available operators are:| Operator | True when |
|---|---|
| is checked | The respondent has checked the box |
| is unchecked | The respondent has not checked the box (or has unchecked it) |
Common use cases
- Consent and terms acceptance: “I agree to the terms and conditions” with Required enabled
- Opt-in checkboxes: “Send me updates about my application”
- Confirmation toggles: “I confirm this information is accurate”
- Conditional branching: Show or hide fields based on a yes/no answer. For example, show a “Company name” field only when “Are you representing a company?” is checked.
Example: required consent checkbox
To create a required terms checkbox:- Add a Checkbox field to your form
- Set the label to “I agree to the terms and conditions”
- Enable Required so the form cannot be submitted without checking the box
