About the Check box element
The Checkbox element is usually used for a Contact Form to allow the visitors to toggle an answer to a question. Each checkbox has two different states: selected or unselected. You can use it to let visitors agree to a Terms and Conditions section on your website or sign up to receive the newsletter.
From the GemPages Dashboard, open your preferred template to edit. You can quickly find the Checkbox element on the left sidebar of the editor page, under the “Form field” section.
When clicking on the element, you will find its configuration options in the left sidebar, including the Settings and Design tabs.
