# Boolean

The **boolean** widget allows you to display a status based on whether the measured value is **true** or **false**. If the measured value is **greater than zero** (value > 0), the status is considered **true** otherwise it is **false**. The boolean widget is suitable for displaying statuses like alarm, water leak, tamper, door open, etc.

In the **Widget options** modal, configure the following settings:

In the **Name** text box, enter a **name** as the **label** for your widget.

In the **Data field** drop-down list, select the **data field** to be used as the **data source**.

In the **Positive text** text box, enter a **text** to display if the measured value is **positive**.

In the **Negative text** text box, enter a **text** to display if the measured value is **negative**.

To add a **color** to the **background** of the widget, click on the **Background color** box and choose a **color** from the **color picker**.

Click on the **Save** button.
