You can put only text-like columns in the tag browser. None of int, float, yes/no, or date can go there.
If you want something like a yes/no column that can go in the tag browser, use a "text with a fixed set of values" column and check the "show checkmarks" box. |

i tried this and cannot figure out how to populate it with checkmarks, i can enter ascii keyboard characters, but that seems to be all.

The field is a text field, so entering characters is normal. Assuming you checked the "use checkmark" box, enter "yes" to get a green check, "no" to get a red X, and nothing to get no mark at all. If you make the field have a "fixed set of values" and give yes & no for the values, then you will have a drop down box with those values (plus empty).

am i correct in assuming that color only works for text and doesn't work when you check 'show check-marks'? i cannot get the check-mark to display in anything but green.

For completeness, there are at least two other ways you can achieve something similar to what (I think) you want. 1) use real yes/no columns and create saved searches in the tag browser to search them. 2) create a composite custom column (column made from other columns) with the template {#yesnoColumnName}. Check the "Show in tag browser" box. Hide the composite column on the library view. You will have the "real" yes/no column on the library view, and a text equivalent on the tags browser. |

Thanks for trying.
![]() There is *something* happening. Might be some 'undocumented functionality' in the graphics toolkit (aka a bug), or it might be something I did. Thank you for the alert, because now I can keep an eye out for similar events and try to find a pattern. |
