# 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.

The resulting **boolean** widget looks something like this:
