# Required acknowledgement

## Overview

Adding the **Acknowledgement** field to your form is useful when you need to ensure that the respondent has read and understood a particular statement or agreement. This field requires the user to actively acknowledge the statement or agreement on the form before they can submit it. The Acknowledgement field is a great way to make sure your workers have read and agree to certain terms outlined in any important document, such as:

- Contracts
- Safety procedures
- Policies and guidelines

## How to add an acknowledgement field

1. In the Legacy Form Builder, select the **Acknowledgement** field from the **Add Fields** menu on the left.
2. In the **Acknowledgement Settings** menu on the right, enter the information that the user is acknowledging in the **Value** box**.**
3. Select **Configure Button Text** to change the text of the acknowledgment button that the user will click on (the default text is *I Agree* and *Thank You*.)

Once your form is published, your users will be required to acknowledge the information that you typed before they can submit the form.
