Check Box Fields

Using Application Composer, you can extend your application's object model by adding fields to both standard or custom objects. One such field is a check box: users in the runtime application can select it to indicate a record's true or false attribute.

Check Box Field Properties

Create a check box field by specifying values for the common set of field properties, such as display label and field name.

The following table shows properties that are common across multiple field types:
