Dropdowns, Radio Groups and Checkboxes

Understanding multi choice components

Written by Carles Cerezo

These components enables campaigns with form submit components to collect richer data. Depending on the format, you can either restrict a user’s selection to a limited number of options, or allow them to choose from multiple. Using formatted components ensure that the collected data is error-free and easily segmented. Good examples include favourite product category, shoe size or a birthday month.

Configuring a Choice Component

Before designing the component, it's advisable to set a type. This can be one of the default types including gender, rating, birthday month, or a custom field. On dropdown menus, you can also set a placeholder that explains what the options are.

Custom Types

To configure a custom type, you'll first need to add a custom field and give it a name. After that, you can add the available options for the component by selecting the “Add option” button below.

This will reveal 2 inputs: “Option label” and “option-value”. Option Label is what users will see in the campaign, whereas the option value is what will be recorded in the Yieldify database when a user submits data.

Other Options

There is a checkbox which can make the component a required field. If a user does not choose a value when required, they will not be able to dismiss the campaign.

Radio groups and checkboxes have a dropdown that allows you to customise the size of the buttons to fit your campaign.
