Admin > Section Editors > Field Editor > Checkbox

Field Label

This is the text displayed beside the field in the CMS Section Editor.

Field Name

This is the name the database and program use to refer to the field.

In your content viewers, you will use some simple code like this <?php echo $record['fieldname']?> to display the field data. If you change an existing fieldname, don't forget to update the name in your viewers and Section Editor details as well.

Field Type

These are the different types of fields you can add to your menu. Some fields have different options than others. Note that the separator field type doesn't require a field label or field name to be entered.

Field Options

Options specific to the Field Type appear in this box. For most fields, the defaults will be sufficient, but for "list" fields you will need to set the values for your list options.

Default State

This is how the checkbox will appear when creating new records, checked or unchecked.

Field Description

This text is displayed after the checkbox.

Advanced Options

System Field

System fields cannot be edited and have no modify or erase link unless "System Field Editing" is enabled (under Advanced Commands on the field list page). The purpose of this setting is to make it harded to accidentally or unknowingly change a program field that might otherwise break things.

Admin Only

Fields with this option set will only be visible and can only be modified by Admin users in the Section Editor.
