Use the Confirmation form element when you want users to explicitly confirm something in the form, for example that they have read and accepted the privacy policy or agree to the terms of participation.
You can customise the confirmation text and insert links to further information or documents such as terms and conditions, privacy policies or terms of use.
If you wish, you can specify that the confirmation field is preselected when the form is opened. Do you want to ensure that consent is mandatory? Then set the field as a required field. Without confirmation, users will not be able to submit the form in this case.

Description |
||||
| Label | Enter a label for the confirmation field. In addition to plain text, you can also insert links. To do so, click the link icon that appears as soon as you actively edit the label field. Adjust the link display text and the target URL. Add the remaining text as required. You can insert the link directly into the sentence, for example: "I have read and accept the privacy policy." | ||||
| Technical name |
Each form element that is added to a form is automatically assigned a unique name – known as the ‘technical name’ – by Formcentric. This name is based on the designator for the form element. Alternatively, you can generate the technical name from the label. To do this, click New from label. Find out more about the technical name. |
||||
| Display variant | You can use this to add a CSS class from the website that you will be embedding the form into. The CSS class chosen here will be applied to the form element. Alternatively, you can select one or more display variants to apply to the form element. The article Custom display variants explains how to define your own display variants. |
||||
| Required field | Check Required field if an option must be selected from this form element when completing the form. An asterisk will then be added to the label for this single choice field, marking it as a required field. Users must complete this form element properly before they can submit the form or move to the next page (if this form element is part of a multi-page form). | ||||
| Error message | In this field, enter the text shown to users if they try to skip filling out this form field. | ||||
| Preselection | With this option, you can determine whether the checkbox is already activated when the form is opened. | ||||
