Figure 3. the choice window


The choice window lets you change the following settings:


Label

The label for the field.


Field position

Whether the field is shown next to the label, below the label and full width, or below the label and indented (in order to line up with fields displayed next to their labels).


Field type

Whether the choices are displayed as a drop-down menu, radio buttons, or checkboxes. A drop-down menu allows the visitor to select one choice from the menu — this type should be used when the list of choices is long (for example, the countries of the world) as it takes up little space in the form. Radio buttons allow the visitor to select one choice from a list of choices visible at all times — this type should be used when the list of choices is short as the visitor can see all of the choices at one time. Checkboxes allow the visitor to select any number of choices from a list of choices visible at all times — this type should be used when the visitor needs to be able to select multiple choices.


Available choices

The choices available to the visitor. Enter each choice on its own line.
