    Hi,

    In certain cells I would like the checkbox not to be visible at all. Whether it is hidden, not displayed, not present.

    I have rows and columns with checkboxes as per this form https://form.jotform.com/251876185327062
    Some of the checkboxes are not needed so are not required to be displayed or used.

    Hi Richie,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I checked the form and some of the checkbox highlighted by yellow color was already hidden to the form. See the screenshot below:

    Are you referring to another cells and would like them to be the same as the yellow ones? If so you can let us know which cell you would liker to be hidden so we can help you identify the selector for it. Meanwhile, the CSS code that we will be applying is:

    slector{
    display: none !important;
     background-color: yellow !important;
     color: yellow !important; /* Ensures any text becomes invisible */
    }

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.

    This post was moved by a member of your team to this thread. They didn't include my full question.

    I would like my form to appear as it does on the screenshot you posted when it is submitted and received in my email

    Hi Richie,

    Currently, the CSS code you apply to hide checkboxes only affects the front end of the form. This means you can hide checkboxes in specific cells on the form itself by targeting the correct CSS selectors and applying display: none !important; to those checkboxes. This styling does not carry over to the submissions view, emails, or PDF documents generated from the form. The checkboxes will still appear in the submission data and emails, as the form data itself contains those fields.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Ok, but only the checked checkboxes appear on the submitted form and the gridlines from the table are missing.

    Can we solve this?

    Hi Richie,

    Based on the screenshot, it seems that it is the email notification you received from each submission. Unfortunately, it's not possible to add a border of each column at this time. This is the default appearance on an Input Table when sent as an email notification. Check out the image below:

    OK Thanks,

    can these be automatically emailed as a PDF when the form is submitted?
