In **Jestor**, the checklist field lets you choose between different visual styles — like green/red, yes/no, happy/sad faces, or custom emojis — to represent whether an internal audit item has been validated.

## Why is a checklist different from a simple checkbox?

Besides marking item by item, Jestor's checklist can be configured as required, ensuring a record only advances if the entire audit (like invoice and bank details verification) is complete.

## What visual styles does the checklist offer?

| Style                | Representation                              |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Green / red**      | Green icon for validated, red X for pending |
| **Yes / no**         | Direct binary answer                        |
| **Happy / sad face** | Visual expression of status                 |
| **Custom emoji**     | Freely chosen icons to represent each item  |

## How to create an audit checklist with a required item?

1. Add a checklist-type column.
2. Name the field, for example, "audit."
3. Add the items to check, like "invoice validated" and "bank details verified."
4. Choose the visual style (green/red, yes/no, faces, or custom emoji).
5. Mark the field as required, if the record should only advance with a complete audit.

## Why choose Jestor for compliance checklists?

**Jestor** turns a checklist into a real quality gate within the process, not just a visual list, by letting you mark it as required before a record advances.

### Can the checklist have more than one verification item?

Yes, you can add as many items as needed for that record's audit.

### Can a checklist be configured as required?

Yes, checking that option means the record can only be saved or advance if all items are filled in.

### Can the checklist's visual style be changed after creation?

Yes, the style (colors, emojis, yes/no) can be adjusted in the field's settings at any time.
