A checkbox is probably the simplest Field Type in existence, yet it is still quite useful. Basically, a checkbox allows users to answer “yes” or “no” to a simple question.

1. Click the to add a field in your form.
2. Choose “New Field”
3. Select the table you wish to add the field to. Most of the time, this will be the current table you are on, called the current context.
4. Select a field name and click “Choose Type”.
5. Choose “Checkbox” from the list of field types.
6. You can continue adding fields or click the “Select” button to finish adding.

Field features can be edited by clicking on the orange field icon when the presentation layer is displayed.
