I apologize for what may be a simple question, as I am new to Glide. I am using a Checklist to display records from an Excel Spread Sheet. I want a Check mark to appear when there is a value in a specific field (Multiplier Request). I added a column in my mapped Excel Table, within Glide Called, “Multiplier Alert”. I then created an IF Statement where if Multiplier Request “Is Empty” then False, Else True.

A Check Box appears in the Data Table, however it does not appear within the App. Under the General Section, I did set “Checklist” to Multiplier Alert.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Do you mean you want a checklist layout but power the checklist by an If-Then-Else column? I don’t think that will work, as checkboxes are clickable and they have to be written to basic columns.

Can you include some screenshots on how you’re setting it up?
