I can easily create a text column, but I was wondering if one could also use templates to control a Yes/No column.

I can of course build a text column whose contents are "Yes" and "No", but I find the icon display in the Yes/No column more effective than text.

Thanks for your help,

Andrea.
Just check the "Show Checkmarks" box in the column definition. This box is available if the column is not "behaves like tags". If the result of the template is recognizable as boolean (Yes, No, true, false, etc) then an icon is displayed instead of the text.
