Lesson #19: Data Structure & Schema - Boolean Checkboxes - Scriptology Mastery Course FileMaker

Something so simple as a yes/no checkbox within FileMaker can really trip up a lot of new FileMaker learners. You know you should store the data as a number value, but how do you present it to the user. FileMaker offers its own native checkboxes and they work out fine for the most part, but sometimes, you want that extra degree over the visual look and feel of things.
In this video we go over various options with regards to adding yes/no checkboxes to our Time Track database.

Super useful! I came here to figure out how to get rid of that damn '1' on my layout, and you sly dog, you had the answer I needed!

Hi Matt, I was playing around with the file after the lesson and instead of moving the button into the portal, I set the field, using the button setup option, to act as the button with the boolean options set. Now instead of the button, I just have the field. Trying to think of the objects in the portal, would it be better to have the button or use the field as a button object?
