If you want one of the options to be marked automatically when the user opens the form, choose this option on the Default Value section. 

If you select the Advanced mode option, more fields of the configuration will appear.

In the Value field, you can enter the value that will be used for calculations, data export or when you want to send an email to a specific email address. In Value in PDF, add the text that will appear in your PDF report.

3. Extra configuration

At the Properties of the widget, you will see several check boxes to complete the configuration:

  • Click Sort Alphabetically if you want the options to appear from A to Z.

  • When the question can have more than one answer, enable Allow multiple selections so the users can choose more options. 

  • In order to change the layout of the form and have the options directly visible, click on Expand. You will not need to open the drop-down. 

  • To make the field compulsory, check the Required box.

  • Users can fill in the form quicker if they enable the Remember input option. The device will remember it for the next submission.
