## What is the Inquiry Checkbox form component?

**Checkbox** is an Inquiry form component that adds an interactive component that allows a user to select or toggle an option on or off.

A **Checkbox** form component is ideal for scenarios like accepting Terms & Conditions, setting preferences, or allowing a user to make multiple selections.

## How do you add an Inquiry Checkbox form component?

1.  Navigate to the Dashboard, and click on **Inquiries > Templates**.
2.  Find and click on the Inquiry template you want to edit, or **Create** a new template.
3.  Hover over a screen and click the **Pencil** icon, or double-click the screen to open it in the Screen Editing View.

4.  In the Left Panel, search the Component Library for ‘**Checkbox**’.
5.  Drag and drop the Checkbox form component into your screen, and reposition it by dragging it around.
6.  Click on the Checkbox form component to open its settings in the Right Panel. The panel has three tabs: **Design**, **Data**, and **Logic**.
    1.  On the **Design** tab, under **Properties**:
        1.  **Label**: Set the label shown next to the checkbox. The Label is a text element displayed next to the Checkbox component to describe its purpose, such as “Select Country,” helping users understand what information to provide.
        2.  **Description**: Set the optional supporting text shown with the checkbox to give users more context. The Description Text displays text next to the Checkbox component, such as “Canada,” offering an example or additional context for the user.
        3.  **Tooltip Text**: Set the tooltip text that gives users more context.
    2.  On the **Design** tab, use the **Layout** and **Typography** sections to style the component. See the Design tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
    3.  On the **Data** tab, choose the field the input is written to. You can select a boolean field, or a datetime field to record the timestamp of when the user checked the box. You can also customize the field’s behavior, such as whether it is required, and add custom validation rules to control when the entry is considered valid. See the Data tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
    4.  On the **Logic** tab, add rules that govern when the component appears, and when it does not. See the Logic tab section on the [Screen Step components in Inquiries](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/6bdXdAJjp5OE93u7L6AgNT/) page for details.
7.  Use the actions at the top right of the panel to copy, delete, or set translations on the component. To translate the text, see [Editing translations for your Inquiry](https://help.withpersona.com/articles/1vMFCXQxDsdpZ2YI4eguFd/).
8.  **Close** the step. You’ll have to **Save** and **Publish** the template to begin using it.
