Update Yes-No Fields Faster with KTL QuickToggle

As the Christmas season begins, I’ve taken some time to reflect and share a fantastic feature created by @NormandDefayette_CortexRD that’s been a real time-saver for me and my clients. If you’ve ever found updating Yes-No fields in Knack a bit tedious, the KTL QuickToggle is a game-changer.

  • What is QuickToggle?
    QuickToggle allows you to rapidly update Boolean fields directly in your grid view, saving you from repetitive clicking. With just a few simple steps, you can enable this feature and transform how you manage Yes-No fields in your app.
  • Why It’s a Game-Changer:
    • Traditional updating involves inline editing, a pop-up, and multiple clicks.
    • QuickToggle lets you queue updates with a simple click on each field.
    • Works seamlessly in both directions (e.g., toggling between Yes and No).
    • Customisable to match your app’s style (colours, display rules, etc.).
  • How to Set It Up:
    • I’ve created the below video walkthrough that shows how to implement QuickToggle.
    • Learn how to customise colours, add display rules, and adjust parameters.
    • It’s easy to set up and will save you a lot of time when working with grids.
  • Watch the Tutorial:
    • Check out the full video tutorial for all the details.
    • If you find it helpful, consider subscribing to my channel—60% of my viewers aren’t subscribed, and every new subscriber inspires me to create more content for the Knack community.

Let me know how QuickToggle works for you, and happy Knack-ing!

Great, I’m glad to hear that it will be of use to you @Scott9 :+1:

Great video as always.

We use this a lot now, though our users took a while to warm to it.

It’s a clever feature which utilises the knack API and improves speed of entry.
