This data type shows a single checkbox, representing True when selected and False when cleared. The Singleton Check is useful for controlling visibility-dependent sections of the record form, such as a checkbox labeled Approval Required that shows or hides the fields used to specify an approver.
The Singleton Check also offers a way to visually represent a True/False toggle outside the Choice field display options. For example, a checkbox can be more intuitive than Yes/No radio buttons and faster to set than a drop-down menu.
This data type can also be shown in the table view with a checkmark icon, so users can see the selection at a glance more easily than skimming a column of Yes and No.
To create a new Singleton Check field:
On the Options tab:
Select the default value for the field. If you select True, the box is selected by default; if you select False, the box is cleared by default. If you don't set this option, the default value will be True.
If you add a Singleton Check field to a table that already has records, the default value you specify here will be applied to all the existing records when you click Finish to create the field. |
Complete the Permissions and Display tabs as desired.
You can also add a Singleton Checkbox to table views for reference, and set them up for quick edit if desired.
