Configure Boolean Types

Under Configuration ‣ General ‣ Boolean Types, you can set up boolean type values for Yes/No fields.

By default, Yes/No fields in NEXUS have the values Yes or No. However, if you need values different from Yes/No, you can define different boolean types under Configuration ‣ General ‣ Boolean Types. For example, if you have a field called “Secure?”, you can assign a boolean type to the field with the values Secure and Not secure.

Creating Boolean Types

To create a new boolean type, proceed as follows:

1. Choose Add.

2. Enter the name of the new boolean type.

3. Click OK.

4. Select the boolean type that you’ve just created and click Edit.

5. Set up the values of the boolean type on the Values tab. A boolean type can have two or three values: one for the true state, one for the false state, and an optional third state for “null” (neither checked nor unchecked state). A field with a boolean type assigned to it will appear as a combo box where the user can select from the predefined values from a drop-down list.

6. If you want a boolean field to have just two states, tick the Required checkbox for that field.
