Cognite InField: YES/NO options for template status fields

Related products: InField

On behalf of Celanese Clear Lake Utilities InField Super Users

  1. Would like to see Yes/No options included as status field in InField templates. This is especially important to the Utilities team as they implement their EHS check sheets which are regulated and routinely reviewed. The Ok/Not Ok fields do not satisfy this requirement. Example below:

1.1 T0082 overhead pipe rack leaking? - (Yes/No)

  • The above example can be confusing when restricted to (Ok/Not Ok) fields. Would “Ok” mean the there is a leak or the opposite? 
  • The Utilities team has expressed this concern primarily due to having to re-train the unit to understand the new nomenclature and would prefer to keep the (Yes/No) fields moving forward.

Thanks for posting! We discussed this one in our Celanese meeting on Tuesday, and I believe we understand the need and we want to support this. 

As mentioned on Tuesday, we currently don’t have this on our roadmap for Q4, but we’ll do an assessment and see when this can be included. Thanks again!

@Kristoffer Knudsen Is there any update on this?


@Benjamin A Onweni there is an update and feedback session scheduled Tuesday next week. Let’s let the Utilities unit interact with the product team for any followup questions/feedback on this product idea.  thanks!


Hi @Benjamin A Onweni!

As Crystal mentions, happy to interact on this topic on Tuesday. Although we want to incorporate this use case and totally understand the need, we are not planning to do it this year.

As we scale Infield, there are lot of requirements to digitize checklists as we go paperless on rounds/checklists but requiring YES/NO or other text options. I would start with YES/NO first. Is there a way to include this in an upcoming sprint at the soonest?


Hi @ibrahim.alsyed ! 

YES/NO, as well as other types of “custom states” that you might have in the current “paper-based” round/checklists, is something that we will have functionality for. We do not want to implement this on a case-by-case basis (e.g. only doing YES/NO), but rather have a robust and flexible way of doing any “custom state” you need.


When do you think we have such flexibility? Q1?


End of Q1 is the current plan 


Hi @crgomez13 ! Just to update on this feature request. This functionality will be available to you out-of-the-box with InField v2 once you are migrated over. When building Template items/task you can utilise a component called “custom labels”, where you essentially have the possible to define any type of custom buttons you might need (e.g. yes, no).
