Display Boolean values as check box or option button in a list report?

Dear all,

Is there anyway to display boolean values as check box or option button in a list report?.

Cognos version is 8.2

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you can get hold of image files for a checkbox checked and unchecked (or a radio button selected and deselected) you can use conditional formatting to display these in your list column for True/False values.  Obviously they will not be active within the report (just static image files) but hopefully this is what you are looking for.

Hi,

You can do this with Webding fonts if available. Have your boolean display the letter "a" if true and format as Webding. This will produce a checkmark. You can probably get the "box" effect by playing with borders.

See here for other available fonts and what they display;
