### Checkbox Field Options

You will find various settings options for customizing the field. Located in the **Input Customization Tab**, these options allow you to configure essential aspects of the**Checkbox**field.

**All the Settings under the Checkbox Field mentioned above are briefly explained below – **

**A. Element Label:**This is the field title the users will see when filling out the **Checkbox**field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the purpose of the field.

**B. Label Placement:** This option allows you to determine the position of the label title where the user will see it. The available options are **Top**, **Left**, **Right**, and **Default**. All of those are self-explanatory except the **Default**. If you select the **Default** option, it will represent your global label placement settings.

**C. Admin Field Label:** The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. This means that you can configure this option to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions. 

**D. Options:**Define the dropdown options:

- Create Options: Add the items for users to choose from.
- Set Default Options: Checkmark an option to set it as the default selection.
- Show Values: Display values for admin ease during submissions.
- Rearrange Options: Drag and drop options to reorder them.
- Add/Delete Options: Use the **Plus** icon to add new options or insert options between existing ones.

**E. Show & Calc Value:**Users will get **Show** and **Calc** Values options. You may display your data and perform calculations using Show and Calc Values.

Also, you can add photos by clicking on the **Photo**option for the field.

**F. Bulk Edit/Predefined Data Sets:** You can choose from a predefined data set for the dropdown field, so you don’t have to add each item manually.

You can also save time by importing predefined datasets instead of manually adding each option. (Useful for dropdowns like countries or states.)
