What this field does: The Single Select field presents clients with a list of options and asks them to choose exactly one. It’s the only field type in Gatheroo that can trigger conditional logic – showing or hiding other fields based on which option the client picks. Use it for yes/no questions, category selections, or any situation where you want the form to adapt based on the client’s answer.

How to add a Single Select field

  1. Open your request in the Request Builder.
  2. Select “+ Add a field” and click Single Select to add it to the current section.
  3. Enter a Field Name.
  4. Click the field on the canvas to open its settings.
  5. Add your options – click Add Option and type each choice. Add as many as you need by using the +.

Available field settings

  • Mandatory: requires the client to make a selection before submitting.
  • Display: choose between horizontal (options side by side) or vertical (options stacked) layout. See Horizontal and Vertical Display.

Using Single Select with conditional logic

Because Single Select is the trigger field for conditional logic, you can set rules such as: “If the client selects Yes, show the next section — if they select No, hide it.” See How to Set Up Conditional Logic for a step-by-step guide.

What clients see

Clients see the options displayed as radio buttons (one selectable at a time), either horizontally or vertically based on your setting.
