A Yes/No field in Fulcrum is designed to streamline data entry where the number of possible responses is limited. It provides users with quick, button-style options that are easy to select on both the web and mobile apps.
Functionality
A Yes/No field can have up to three defined selections (e.g., Yes, No, N/A).
It only allows one selection to be made and stored (single choice).
Options are displayed as buttons for faster, more intuitive entry.
Each option can include a label (what the user sees) and a value (what is stored in the database).
Design Best Practices
Use a Yes/No field when a question has three or fewer possible answers.
Use a Choice Field when there are four or more possible answers.
Yes/No fields offer quicker, single-tap responses for efficiency.
Choice Fields require extra clicks and more deliberate selection, but they provide flexibility, such as an "Other" option.
Example Use Cases
Safety checklists (e.g., Did you check the tire pressure? → Yes/No).
Quality control inspections (e.g., Is the item damaged? → Pass/Fail).
Compliance checks (e.g., Is the equipment powered on? → Yes/No/N/A).
Web App View
In the web app’s record editor, a Yes/No field displays as clearly labeled buttons, enabling quick, accurate selection for field staff and office users alike.
