Boolean

A Boolean attribute captures a two-state business decision, such as Yes/No, True/False, Applicable/Not Applicable, or Completed/Not Completed. It is typically displayed as a checkbox or toggle.

It is particularly useful for conditions that affect the process, the visibility of other fields, or the availability of lifecycle actions. A default value can be configured to reflect the standard business expectation.

Use case: Conditional process applicability

Not every process step is relevant for every record. For example, an inspection process may not be required for certain product categories or low-risk changes.

A Boolean attribute named “Inspection Required” can be configured with a default value of Yes. If the user changes it to No, configured rules can hide inspection-specific fields, skip related validation, or prevent unnecessary tasks from being created.

Example:

A process record has an “Is Process Not Required?” flag. When selected, the platform can make planned inspection dates, inspection comments, and review actions unavailable, while retaining the decision as part of the record history.
