Jotform makes it easy to add checkable lists to your form with the Checklist widget. This widget displays multiple options in a clean list format, allowing users to select one or more items. It’s perfect for task tracking, confirmations, or custom selections.
Here are a few ways to use it:
- Let clients choose areas to be cleaned in a service form (kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc.).
- Share task lists with employees for projects or HR requirements.
- Collect confirmations for event planning, catering needs, or equipment requests.
- And more!
Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the Checklist widget in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:
- In Form Builder, click on Add Element on the left side of the page.
- Now, in the Form Elements menu, under the Widgets tab, click on Checklist. Or, just drag and then drop it to where you want it to be on your form.
- Next, in the Widget Settings menu that opens on the right side of the page, under the General tab, you’ll see this list of settings you can configure:
- Once you’re done, click on Update.
That’s it. You’ve successfully added and set up the Checklist widget on your form. You can test it on this demo form.
Note
- The fields in the Checklist widget accept letters, numbers, and symbols.
- All entries from the widget are submitted as a single combined field, not as individual fields.
- Changing the field names inside the widget only applies to new submissions moving forward.
- To style the fields and labels in the Checklist widget, you can inject custom CSS into the Custom CSS tab in the Widget Settings. Need help getting started? Our guide on How to Inject CSS Codes to Widgets shows you how to do it.
- You can also configure the widget properties, like alignment, labels, size, visibility, and more, to control how it looks and behaves on your form.
