Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Yes/No data type is appropriate for a true/false condition. This data type allows the report to display whether the participant has paid (Yes) or has not paid (No). Short Text, Number, and Currency data types would not provide the appropriate true/false condition needed for this report.
