You can render a checkbox view for that column by providing the viewPath in columns property of the table. In the checkbox view, set **checkedIcon.path** as _material/close_. You can style it as per your requirement. ---

Agreed, but , let's say we render a view for the checkbox, on that check box we can have selected / deselected functionality, but it would be on that check box view, How to get the data after performing some operation on that view. I was not able to find a property, where I can fetch the data of the row. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/8/f87e7b6308d04e0fbcab9d99e31de91ea1bfa490.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/e/ae42ae58e5903f4c8a9af5f850acb116fccf31fb.png) After this I'm making the Approve checkbox High ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/d/fdf2e73b11e954b692bf1ebafbf1e862d3eaac4a.png) How to have the feedback of the view with respect to row, as there will be manny rows ---

There are few methods for doing that. I have used message handler to write back to the data property of the table after the change has been made. Ryan has suggested writing to the database directly when you make the change if the data is coming from database. Try whatever works for you. > [@Update data in table from value change in rendered view](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/update-data-in-table-from-value-change-in-rendered-view/110151): > > Hi, I have a table like this, where population is a rendered view. I bind the rendered view to the rowData[“population“] param. When I update the value in population it does not hold the changed value( does not change value in the props.data of table). What is the best practice to do this? Is implementing a message handler to update prop.data in table each time onBlur of the textField in the rendered view the best practice? ---

I think message handler would be the solution for me as of now, just because I do have some other operations to perform before updating that in my database table. Currently,Other than this I do not see any more options to achieve the said functionality. Thanks!
