Using boolean columns for yes/no or true/false values
Boolean columns store simple binary data (true/false, yes/no, on/off). They’re perfect for tracking status, flags, or any data that has exactly two possible states. Their simplicity makes them powerful for filtering and conditional logic.
Unlike text or select columns, Boolean columns are optimized for true binary choices and offer specialized features for toggle interactions, visual indicators, and logical operations.
Boolean columns in cell view are displayed as a simple checkbox:
When clicked, the sidebar provides details and editing options:
Visual Indicators: Clear visual representation of true/false states with customizable appearance
Quick Toggling: One-click switching between states for efficient data entry
Filter Friendly: Easily filter records based on boolean status
Conditional Formatting: Use boolean values to drive visual formatting
Logic Operations: Ideal for AND/OR conditions in formulas and automations
Space Efficiency: Compact display takes minimal space in table views
Export Compatibility: Exports cleanly to spreadsheets and databases
Boolean columns support the following research tools:
These tools can help you accurately populate boolean columns by researching factual information that can be represented as yes/no values, saving time on manual verification tasks.
Use clear, affirmative column names that describe what a “true” value means
Keep naming conventions consistent across your workspace
Consider column grouping for related boolean flags
Use boolean columns only for true binary choices
Leverage boolean columns for filtering and segmentation
Use boolean columns to drive conditional logic
Use counts of boolean columns for metrics
Include boolean columns in exports for data analysis
