How to: Display Types

Text Box: Single line allowing a user to input their own custom value.

Combobox: Dropdown selection, requiring you to choose from a list of options. Once selected, the list of options is no longer displayed, unless you expand the list from the dropdown arrow again.

Combolist: Exactly like the “combo box” except as you type a value, it will pull from the possible results.

Checkbox: A single check box that can be selected (useful for true/false, yes/no, etc).

MultiLine Textbox: A text box with multiple lines allowing more space for a custom response. Users can input up to a maximum of 6,000 characters.

Checklist: Displays a list of options to select by checking the box. Allows for multiple selections.

Radio Buttons: Displays multiple options with the ability to only select one.

Rank: Ranking options from highest to lowest, favorite to least favorite, etc. Cannot rank 2 options the same value.

Label: Display information to users, instead of collecting. Can be helpful when using conditional logic (ie: Staff Attribute 1-“Are you a U.S. citizen?” If the answer is no, then the Label attribute might say “In accordance with federal law, we cannot employ anyone who is not a U.S. citizen”).

Datepicker: Display an option for the user to select a date.
