Mapping

Map the options of your Checkbox Element to either an Attribute in your APSIS One account, or as a Form response which will be saved as Event data.

For example, if you'd like to get to know which sports your customers are interested in, you could map the Checkbox Element to a Sports Attribute, and get an overview of which sports they enjoy. To read more about Attributes, head over to this article.

Select Attribute from the Data Type drop-down menu to map the Checkbox Element to an Attribute. If you would like to collect the visitors' answers to these options as Event data, select Form response only.

Under Option 1 and Option 2, enter the Attribute value for each option. When a visitor ticks the checkbox that corresponds with each option, the value you enter here will be added to their APSIS One Profile as a value for the Attribute.

If you choose Form response only, then the response will be saved as Event data.

If the visitor chooses more than one option, multiple values will be added as either an Attribute or Event data, separated by commas ( , ). For example: Sports equals "Tennis", "Baseball", "Basketball".
