Legal Field

The Legal field is used to output a legal notice on your forms such as a privacy policy, terms and conditions or disclaimer. You can enter your own legal notice or automatically create content using a third-party service such as Termageddon.

Basic

The basic tab contains settings that the majority of WS Form users will need to control a field. The settings are as follows:

Label

The label is used solely for identifying the legal field when editing your form. The label is not shown to the website visitor.

Show Label

If enabled the label will be shown on your form. If you do not want the label to appear for a particular field, uncheck this box.

Required

If checked this field will be required when the website visitor completes your form.

In order to validate the field, the user is required to scroll to the bottom of the legal agreement.

Hidden

If checked the field will be hidden on the form. It can be shown again using conditional logic or your own JavaScript.

Source

  • Termageddon (U.S. only)
