Decision Box

What is a Decision Box Field?

Decision Box fields enable you to prompt users to make binary decision selections.

For instance, you can use Decision Box fields to prompt users to select whether or not they would like to "Accept Terms of Service", "Opt In To Receive Email Updates", or "Subscribe".

Field Options

Creating or editing a Decision Box Field will have the following options to configure:

Name

This setting allows you to name your decision box field. For instance, "Accept Terms of Service" or "Opt In To Receive Text Messages".

Description

This setting allows you to add an optional description of this field for your own reference.

Input Type

This setting allows you to select the input method for which you would like users to make their binary decision selections. You can prompt users to make a binary decision selection with three input types:

• Checkbox (default)
• Radio Buttons
• Drop-Down

The checkbox format will always save a value of either "On" or "Off".

Label

This setting allows you to select the text you wish to display to prompt users to make their binary decision selections.

Checkbox Label Options

• On/Off

Radio Button Options

• On/Off
• True/False
• Yes/No

Dropdown Options

• On/Off
• True/False
• Yes/No

Unlike other fields, the Decision Box field title/label cannot be changed in Data Components.

Default Form Value

This setting allows you to define whether you would like the positive binary value (yes/on/true/checked) to be automatically selected when a form loads.

Important for API Users: The Default Form Value setting only applies when records are created through forms in the application interface. When creating records via the REST API, you must explicitly include the field in your request to set it as checked (1) or unchecked (0). Omitting the field will result in it being unchecked (0) regardless of the Default Form Value setting. See the REST API documentation for more details.
