Usage considerations | The search does not search for the label, but only the value which is true/false for a checkbox.
The same applies to filters, where checkbox values are shown as true/false. Here the filter name should mirror the checkbox label to give some indication of what true/false refers to.
An issue of checkboxes is the missing NULL state. When searching for checkbox = false, this will deliver all content items which have the checkbox set to false or have not been set at all. If the checkbox is "legally approved" then false could mean not approved or not yet checked for approval, a combination of checkboxes (checkbox1: legal approval done, checkbox2: legally approved) brings clarity. |
Checkbox Value Handling
Picturepark Setup Example | Layer: Corporate Information (ID: CorporateInformation)
Field: Legally approved (FieldId: legallyApproved) |

Returned field value | True / False
Please note Picturepark does not have a NULL state for checkboxes, which would indicate that the checkbox was never updated.
Please consider displaying information based on the checkbox value instead of just showing the value e.g. if true, show "it works". |
Checkbox Field Settings

Will always have included in the search and filters set to true per default on creation. You can change this if you don't want to use the checkbox in channel filters. |

The simple search in the content browser cannot be used to find true or false values. In such a case, we recommend using an advanced search or adding a channel filter. |
