[Dynamic Forms Overview](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#dynamic-forms-overview) # How Checkboxes Work in Dynamic Forms Checkboxes in a dynamic form can work in **3 different ways**: 1. [**Automatic (Mapped) Checkbox**](https://support.webcemeteries.com/dynamic-form-check-boxes#Automatic) - The box checks itself, based on information already in the record. 2. [**Customer-Checked Box**](https://support.webcemeteries.com/dynamic-form-check-boxes#Customer) - The box is left blank, and the customer checks it themselves while they're signing the document. 3. [**Filled by Cemetery**](https://support.webcemeteries.com/dynamic-form-check-boxes#Cemetery) - When the Cemetery is generating the form, they manually check them off Each type of checkboxes is set up by the webCemeteries Project team when your form is built. Once a form is set up, you simply generate the document as you normally would, and the checkbox behaves the way it was configured. A checkbox is always set up as one type or the other; it can't be more than one type at once.  To have your form's checkboxes configured in any one of these ways, please contact support@webcemeteries.com For instructions on how to generate a dynamic form, see our article [on how to Generate a Document from a Dynamic form](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hc/en-us/articles/9322836648987-generating-a-document-from-a-dynamic-form?hsLang=en). ### Automatic (Mapped) Checkbox These checkboxes can be mapped to be checked on or off to specific properties in the record you generate the form from. For example, if a deceased record has a Military Service Record, the check box for "Veteran" will automatically be checked when you generate the form. ![](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-06-2026-11-47-17-6353-PM.png?width=670&height=268&name=image-png-Aug-06-2026-11-47-17-6353-PM.png) ### **Customer-Checked Box** In this example, when you send a signature request to the customer, the form can be configured to have the customer input additional information, like checking off a box in the form:  ![](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-31-2026-11-49-04-2997-PM.png?width=1455&height=285&name=image-png-Jul-31-2026-11-49-04-2997-PM.png) ![](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-31-2026-11-49-21-9582-PM.png?width=298&height=186&name=image-png-Jul-31-2026-11-49-21-9582-PM.png)  If your form is setup this way, simply send a signature request like normal, the customer will fill in the details. See our article on [How to Electronically sign a Document](https://support.webcemeteries.com/how-to-electronically-sign-a-document?hsLang=en). ### **Filled by Cemetery** This is the most Basic configuration. If your form has check boxes configured and they are not the previous 2 options, you will simply check these off yourself when you are in the "Review" stage of generating the form. Typically, the box will have a light blue "highlight", indicating you can click on the box to check it off: ![](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-07-2026-12-08-00-3067-AM.png?width=670&height=354&name=image-png-Aug-07-2026-12-08-00-3067-AM.png) After checking off the necessary boxes, make sure to select "Save", especially if you have multiple forms being generated at once. ![](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-07-2026-12-08-58-5678-AM.png?width=670&height=356&name=image-png-Aug-07-2026-12-08-58-5678-AM.png) - [Getting Started](https://support.webcemeteries.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Management Overview](https://support.webcemeteries.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#user-management-overview) - [Settings Overview](https://support.webcemeteries.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#settings-overview) - [Tutorial Videos](https://support.webcemeteries.com/tutorial-videos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Locations](https://support.webcemeteries.com/tutorial-videos?hsLang=en#locations) - [Work Orders](https://support.webcemeteries.com/tutorial-videos?hsLang=en#work-orders) - [Management](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Access and Usability](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#access-and-usability) - [Arboretum Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#arboretum-module) - [Books Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#books-module) - [Contacts & Customers Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#contacts-customers-module) - [Contracts Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#contracts-module) - [Deceased Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#deceased-module) - [Documents Overview](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#documents-overview) - [Dynamic Forms Overview](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#dynamic-forms-overview) - [Locations Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#locations-module) - [Maps](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#maps) - [Memorials Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#memorials-module) - [Ownership Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#ownership-module) - [Payment Processing](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#payment-processing) - [Reports](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#reports) - [Reservations Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#reservations-module) - [Work Orders Module](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#work-orders-module) - [Invoices](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#invoices) - [Passare](https://support.webcemeteries.com/management?hsLang=en#passare) - [Public Tools](https://support.webcemeteries.com/public-tools?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Remember My Journey](https://support.webcemeteries.com/public-tools?hsLang=en#remember-my-journey) - [Mobile App](https://support.webcemeteries.com/public-tools?hsLang=en#mobile-app) - [Tours](https://support.webcemeteries.com/public-tools?hsLang=en#tours) - [Forever Plot](https://support.webcemeteries.com/public-tools?hsLang=en#forever-plot) - [Website Integrations](https://support.webcemeteries.com/website-integrations?hsLang=en) - [Uncategorized](https://support.webcemeteries.com/uncategorized?hsLang=en) - [Sales](https://support.webcemeteries.com/sales?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Access in Enterprise Sales](https://support.webcemeteries.com/sales?hsLang=en#general-access-in-enterprise-sales) - [Contracts in Enterprise Sales](https://support.webcemeteries.com/sales?hsLang=en#contracts-in-enterprise-sales) - [Reservations in Enterprise Sales](https://support.webcemeteries.com/sales?hsLang=en#reservations-in-enterprise-sales) - [Searching in Enterprise Sales](https://support.webcemeteries.com/sales?hsLang=en#searching-in-enterprise-sales) [![file-logo](https://support.webcemeteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/file-logo.png?width=400&height=67&name=file-logo.png "file-logo")](http://webcemeteries.com) 277 Fair St., Suite 1, Kutztown, PA 19530 [mailto:support@webcemeteries.com](mailto:support@webcemeteries.com) Copyright © 2024, webCemeteries ™
