So what I am looking to make is a checklist that happens on the creation of new user.

So I add a user, John and on entering his information.

A list is created for him to complete tasks.

Is this a static list that’s the same for everyone? The easiest option would be to have a table with your list, then create a user specific boolean column to hold each user’s checkmark. The boolean values will be unique to each user, even though it’s a single column.

So looking to expand the checklists so different user types would get different lists.

i.e. New hire gets list a, manager gets list b and sees progress of list a
