How-to Guide

1. Create a checkbox field

Entry path: Tap a table header → Edit → Field Type → Checkbox

1. Tap the table header that you want to configure.
2. In the floating toolbar, tap Edit.
3. In the field editing window, tap Field Type.
4. Select Checkbox.
5. Enter the field name.
6. Confirm the setting.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: a new checkbox field column appears in the data table.
• What you can do next: you can check or uncheck records in that field.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if the header is not selected first, the field editing window may not open.
• Environment note: you need permission to edit fields in the current data table.

2. Toggle a checkbox state

Entry path: Open the table that contains a checkbox field

1. Open the data table that contains the checkbox field.
2. Locate the target record in the checkbox column.
3. Tap the checkbox in the target cell.
4. Tap it again if you want to switch back to unchecked.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: the cell shows a checked state after selection and an empty box when unchecked.
• What you can do next: you can continue updating other records in the same field.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: tapping the field name instead of the record cell will not change the current record state.

3. Filter records by checkbox status

Entry path: Add a filter condition → choose the checkbox field

1. Open the data table that contains the checkbox field.
2. Open the filter settings.
3. Add a new filter condition.
4. Select the target checkbox field.
5. Choose Checked or Unchecked as the condition.
6. Apply the filter and review the result.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: only records that match the selected checkbox state remain visible.
• What you can do next: you can adjust the filter or return to the full record list.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if you do not confirm the field type first, you may choose the wrong field in the filter.

4. Use checkbox values in formulas

Entry path: Formula editor → reference the checkbox field

1. Open the data table that contains the checkbox field.
2. Create or edit the formula field that you want to calculate.
3. Reference the target checkbox field in the formula.
4. Build the logic with checked = 1 and unchecked = 0.
5. Save the formula and review the result.

Success Criteria

• On-screen result: the formula result updates when the checkbox state changes.
• What you can do next: you can use the result for counting, totals, or condition checks.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: treating the checkbox as text can cause unexpected formula results.
