Fields that store a yes/no value (Bit prompt)

Custom fields will have different configurations based on the type of data stored. This article will focus on one of the four types of custom fields:

• Fields that store free-text values

• Fields that store a single value from a prompt list

• Fields that store multiple values from a prompt list

• Fields that store a yes/no value (this article)

Before configuring custom fields, consider the data being captured and how you will use it throughout Slate.

How to Create Bit Prompt List Fields

🔔 Important: No “Yes/No” Prompts!

Do not make “Yes/No” prompts in the Prompts tool. Without exception, a bit prompt is the best way to store this data.

For these fields there is a special prompt key called bit:

• Prompt - Select the bit prompt key.

• Value - Set the Value to Store Value for a custom field using a bit prompt (or the language, state, user, or country prompt lists).

• Multiple - Set this to Single Value.

Why Not Store Prompt ID?

There are some prompt lists that save in Slate like a value. Fields using the following prompt keys must have the Value setting configured to Store Value:

• Bit (Yes/No)

• Language

• State

• Country

• User
