Mailform is a powerful extension for creating forms. In a backend wizard, the user can design very variable forms, which are generated dynamically in the frontend pages. The forms will be sent as an email to specified recievers. For each mailform content element are two different types of mails available. One is e.g. for the site administration and the other is e.g. a confirmation for the user who sent that mail.

If there is a list of values and only one but one must be selected, there is a statement that allows it. In the grafic above, there are three possible values: value1 value2 and value 3. If you want the user to check at least one of those three values, but not choosing one is forbidden write a statement like this: (value1||value2||value3), in the 'Required Values (CSV)' field.

The || stand for a logical OR. If you need the user to input all of those values, you can simply separates value with commas. E.g. “value1,value2,value3”. If you like the user to input every time value1 and value2 or value3 write a statement like this: “value1,(value2||value3)” and so on.
