    Boolean Widget

    Default Value: Choose whether the value should be default "Yes" or "No"

    Default: Choose an option that should be selected by default.

    Show As Buttons: List options on the screen rather than forcing the operator to open the dropdown

    Dropdown Options: Add a new option to the dropdown list, or add a group within the list.

    You can add a new option via the "Enter" key. You can also paste a list of options, as long as they are separated into individual lines in a text editor (ie Word or a notes app).

    Multiselect Widget

    Multiselect Options: Add a new option to the list, or add a group within the list.

    Default(s): Choose an option that should be selected by default

    Columns: If the list of options is long, allow it to be broken into multiple columns

    The Multiselect Form Widget stores all choices as text values in a variable.

    Text Widget

    Multiline Input: Turn a single line into a multiline input to encourage longer responses

    Default Value: Add a default value for the widget

    Number Widget

    Default Value: Add a default number for the widget

    Required Range: Do not allow the form to be submitted unless it falls within a certain range

    Hide +/- Controls: Hide the + and - buttons from the widget

    Photo Widget

    Photo Input Options: Choose whether operators can add a photo via camera, Image upload from the local computer, or both.
