Checkbox
With a checkbox custom field, users can only select a value or not select it. This type of field lends itself to a true or false value.

Using checkboxes for data elements allows for flexible reporting. Since the values are defined by being checked or unchecked, the field filters for data reporting.
Checkbox custom fields have the following additional property:
-
Checked — If you check this box, the Checkbox field will be checked by default when creating a new entity.
See Creating and Modifying Custom Fields for more details.
