Yes/No

Free feature

Yes/No is available to all Fomr users.

The Yes/No component asks a binary question with exactly two answers. The answers always mean yes and no, but you can rename the labels to fit your question — for example “Agree” and “Disagree” or “Sure” and “Not now”.

When to use Yes/No

Yes/No is the right component for any question with exactly two possible answers:

• “Have you used our product before?”
• “Would you recommend us to a friend?”
• “Do you want us to follow up with you?”
• “Did this article answer your question?”

Use Yes/No whenever you are asking a question. Two related components cover different jobs:

• Use Checkbox for first-person confirmations and agreements, such as “I agree to the terms and conditions”.
• Use Switch for true on/off settings, such as “Receive email notifications”.

Tip

If you find yourself building a two-option Multi Choice question with Yes and No answers, use Yes/No instead. It is purpose-built for binary questions and keeps your responses consistent.

Adding a Yes/No component

1. Open your form in the editor

2. Drag the Yes/No component from the Components panel onto your form

3. Click the component to select it and configure its settings

Configuration options

Question label

The question displayed above the two answers.

Tips for effective labels:

• Phrase it as a direct question
• Make sure both answers read as sensible responses

Examples:

• “Have you attended one of our events before?”
• “Would you like to receive a follow-up call?”

Answer labels

Every Yes/No question has exactly two answers. The answers themselves are fixed, but their labels are editable directly on the canvas: click an answer label and type to rename it.

Examples:

• “Yes” / “No” (default)
• “Agree” / “Disagree”
• “Absolutely” / “Not really”

You cannot add, remove, or reorder the answers. If you need more than two options, use Multi Choice instead.

Description

Optional helper text that appears below the question label.

When to use descriptions:

• To clarify what a yes answer means
• To explain what happens next based on the answer

Required

Toggle whether an answer must be selected before the form can be submitted.

When enabled:

• An asterisk (*) appears next to the question label
• Respondents must pick one of the two answers to submit

Default value

Prefill the question with Yes or No so respondents can confirm the common answer or change it.

See Default values for how prefilled answers behave.

Style

Choose how the selected answer is indicated: Radio (default) shows a round radio indicator next to each answer, while Checkbox shows a square checkmark box instead.

Yes/No vs. Switch vs. Checkbox

All three components collect binary responses, but each has a distinct job:

Aspect	Yes/No	Switch	Checkbox
Best for	Binary survey questions	On/off settings	Confirmations and agreements
Answers	Two labeled options	On or off	Checked or unchecked
Answer labels	Editable	None	None
Typical phrasing	”Do you…?” / “Have you…?"	"Enable…” / “Receive…"	"I agree…” / “I confirm…”

Use Yes/No when:

• You are asking a question, not offering a setting
• You want custom answer labels
• Respondents should see and compare both answers

Use Switch when:

• The question is a setting or preference
• The choice is about enabling or disabling something

Use Checkbox when:

• Collecting agreement, consent, or acknowledgement
• The pattern is a first-person statement like “I agree…” or “I confirm…”

Tip

On a page of its own, a Yes/No question works with auto-jump: the form advances to the next page as soon as the respondent picks an answer.

Handling responses

Yes/No responses in your form results:

• Display the selected answer with your custom label
• Keep your custom labels in exports and Google Sheets workflows
• Can be reused in later questions with answer piping
• Allow analysis of the yes/no response distribution
