Consent

Configure consent, terms, and policy acknowledgement questions

The Consent element collects agreement to terms, a privacy policy, or other acknowledgement text you write in markdown. It is a fixed agree / disagree pattern without custom option labels (unlike Yes / No, where you can rename both choices). In the form builder it appears under Choice as Consent.

When to use

  • Privacy policy, terms of service, or data-processing notices
  • Mandatory checkboxes before continuing the form
  • Any short legal or compliance copy where respondents must explicitly agree

Customization options

When editing a Consent question, you can configure the following properties:

OptionDescription
Internal display labelRequired label used in the builder and internal lists (not the main legal copy). You can insert variables from the picker where supported.
Consent contentRequired body text shown to respondents; markdown is supported (up to 500 characters in the editor). This is where you place the terms, policy summary, or acknowledgement wording.
SlugOptional URL-friendly identifier for the question.
Error MessageThe message shown when validation fails (e.g. required consent not given). Keep it clear and actionable.
Next button labelLabel for the button that advances past this question after the respondent agrees.
Consent alignmentLeft — content aligned to the start. Justify — full-width justified block text (often better for long paragraphs than centering).
Required fieldWhen enabled, respondents must agree before continuing.
Hidden questionWhen enabled, the question can be hidden from respondents where your form logic allows.

Viewing responses

Consent responses appear in the Response Summary for your form. You can see who agreed or did not, filter by time period or segment, and audit acknowledgement over time.
