Checkbox Field

With the Checkbox Field type, users can select a Checked (true) or Unchecked (false) value. When creating a Checkbox Field, you can define the following properties:

  • Field Properties

    • Field Label — (mandatory) is displayed on the left from the field on view, edit, and new record pages.

    • View Header — (optional) is used in headers of views and reports. If not specified, the Field Label is used.

    • View Width — (optional) is used to set width (in pixels or %) of columns in views and reports. If not specified, the browser calculates the width of columns automatically.

    • Default Value — Whether you want to the Field to be checked or unchecked by default.

      • An optional checkboxes for:

        • Assigning values for all existing object records now.

        • Hiding the display label for this Field on UI Pages.

    • Text on the Right — Additional text to be rendered on the right of checkbox.

  • Advanced Field Properties — For more information, see Advanced field properties.

  • Integration Name — The integration name is used to reference this field via merge fields or with Platform APIs.

  • Field-Level Help — The Field-Level Help box allows you to define help text for the field that will appear in a popup when the user clicks the help icon next to the field.

Note: If Checkbox is marked as "required" it must be checked in input form, otherwise it will cause a validation error. This feature is rarely used except for some legal applications.
