# simple Checkbox list

* I am trying to create a simple checkbox list that a visitor can choose from.
* Using contact form 7 I was able to create the list however when the response
email is generated the selected choices do not appear in the email.
I have since
read that when using the checkbox feature the choices are an either/or , yes/
no choice.
* All I am looking for is being able to randomly select choices from a list and
have the
the items that are checked off sent via email.
* Here is a sample of one of my lists:

* There is probably a simple solution that I am just not seeing, any help resolving
this would be much appreciated
* Thanks

* Please include all your input in the Form and Mail sections of the CF7 interface.
* See Contact Form 7 Interface at [https://cacoo.com/diagrams/2xhVwuNicE1G20Df-6E3D9.png](https://cacoo.com/diagrams/2xhVwuNicE1G20Df-6E3D9.png)
* Please supply the info you have used in the sections marked 4 & 6 in that image.
* Many people just paste the relevant sections as code here.
* For example the info from the default CF7 form looks like this:
* FORM:

* My form appears properly on the website page. And the viewer is able to fill
it out and submit it. However I then receive the email from the page visitor
but it does not include the checked of list choices:

* You appear to have some confusion on how the checkbox tag generally works in
CF7.
* All the dropdown options for your checkbox-931 tag need to be grouped together
into a single CF7 tag.
* You also appear to not have setup your Mail section to suit your particular input
in the form section.

* Does this mean that out of all the optios I have to pick one? What I was hopeing
for was the viewer to be able to check of multiple options. Can you give me an
example of the options all in one tag.

* Also not sure what you mean here. The input side seems fine, it does not transfer
to the email when the email is submitted.
* WOuld much appreciate it if you could give me an example to setting this up
* Thanks

* The CF7 Checkbox tag by default allows the user to select multiple options –
see [Checkboxes, Radio Buttons and Drop Down Menus](http://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/).

* Sorry I don’t offer that level of support in this forum but I can point
you in the right direction where you can learn how to do it yourself – see [Setting Up Mail](http://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/).
