How to incorporate a field with text to read in a form

[Compagnie_de_da]

Hello,

I want to send a form to users to sign up to an activity so the user can provide their contact information and their acknowledgement to have read certain conditions.

I know how to configure the basic personal information, but what’s the best way to do the section for reading and acknowledging the conditions?

I don’t have a place on the web to put the text to read so I can’t send the reader to an external link. Is there a way to link to a separate field in a base, with very long text ? I would have to do this for three conditions.

I was thinking:
One of the field has to be a long text “X” to read.
The next field would be a single check box “I have read X”

Any suggestions?
Thank you

Hm, what if you used the help text area of the form?

Hi Adam
Yes, it’s exactly what I need to do! Thank you!
Now, what is “help text area”? I looked it up, and I didn’t see anything. I’m still learning this app.
Thank you kindly.

The help text appears on the form view above each field.

Since you’re brand new to Airtable, you would probably greatly benefit from my free Airtable training course, where I cover forms & help text in significant detail:

Thank you. I found it! Had to click around a few places.

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable and offers a variety of tools to customize each field’s description. In addition to text, you can add images, links, formatted text, and more. The description can also be displayed as a tooltip or be positioned at the top or bottom of the field to best suit your needs:
