🔛 Switch

The Switch element in FormNX is a toggle-style field that lets users quickly respond with an on/off or yes/no answer. Instead of typing or selecting from a list, users simply flip the switch — making it perfect for opt-ins, preferences, and simple boolean choices.

📌 How to Add the Switch Field to Your Form​

Follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the Form Builder.
  2. On the left hand side, you'll see the Elements section.
  3. Find the Switch element.
  4. Drag and drop the element onto your form OR click on the element to add it automatically.

Once added, the Switch will appear in your form layout, ready to be customized.
