Learn about the different field types that can be added to an application in Under.

In Under, there are a wide variety of field types that you can add to your application to enhance its functionality and tailor it to your specific needs.

These field types range from simple text fields to more complex options like multi-checkbox fields, dropdown lists, and auto-fill address fields.

Text

Text fields provide customers with the flexibility to enter any desired value in a free-text format. These fields do not offer any specific formatting options, allowing users to input information in a straightforward manner.

Number

Number fields have a similar style to text fields, but they only allow the customer to enter numbers. With number fields, you have the ability to add formatting options, specify minimum and maximum values, and apply quantitative formatting.

Radio

Radio fields function similarly to dropdown fields in that they allow customers to select from a list of specific options. When a radio field is added to a mapped PDF, the chosen option is represented by a dot on the PDF.

Checkbox

Checkbox fields give customers the option to mark a box as checked or unchecked on the merchant application.

If you would like this checkbox field to serve as a reminder or notification, you can make it a required field. This ensures that the customer must verify that they have read the specified information before proceeding.

Checkbox List

Checkbox list fields function similarly to dropdown and radio fields, allowing customers to choose from a list of options. However, what sets checkbox list fields apart is that customers can select multiple options from the list, rather than just one.

Switch

Switch fields operate in a similar manner to checkbox fields, allowing customers to toggle the switch on or off based on their selection.

Phone

Phone fields provide customers with the convenience of entering their phone number directly into the merchant application.

These fields come with built-in formatting, making it easy for customers to input their phone number in a standardized format. Additionally, customers have the option to select the country code for their phone number, ensuring accurate and efficient data entry.

Date

Date fields give customers the option to choose a date using a convenient date picker.

With this field, you have the flexibility to customize the format in which the date is displayed. You can also choose whether or not to allow customers to select future dates.
