Adding Terms or a Consent Statement to a Form
Using a combination of field types and some layout tricks, you can set up your form so that people need to agree to your terms of service or a consent statement before filling out your form. You can even display your terms in a scrolling textbox so that they don't crowd your form. Here's what they'll look like:
To add terms or a consent statement to your form:
- Log in and go to Forms.
- Click the form you want to edit.
- Add a Section Break field to the beginning of your form.
- Click the field to open its Field Settings.
- In the Instructions for User textbox, paste your terms of service or consent statement. You can use HTML to format this text however you'd like.
- Type scrollText into the CSS Layout Keywords textbox. This will display the text in a scrolling textbox. You can skip this step if your text isn't long enough to warrant a scrollbar.
- Click the Add a Field tab.
- Add a Checkboxes field to your form right below the Section Break.
- Click the field to open its Field Settings.
- Click the delete button to the right of the second and third choices, so you're left with only one checkbox.
- Change the answer choice text to say something like "I agree to the Terms of Service".
- Click Required to make the field required, so people need to agree to your terms in order to proceed.
- Click the Add a Field tab.
- Add a Page Break to your form, just underneath the Checkboxes field.
- Add some more fields to the second page.
- Click Save Form.
