Checkbox to Select Row in Editor

I am trying to display a checkbox in the first table column. This is not part of the database. The only purpose is to select one row, so that enables the TableTool Edit/Delete buttons.
Per https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/simple.html I did not put anything for the Editor.fields for the checkbox column. What then displays is nothing in that column. What do I really need for the DataTable.columns and the Editor.Fields options for that checkbox. Below is what I have so far:

  "tableTools": {
          "sRowSelect": "single",
          "sRowSelector": "td:first-child",
           "aButtons": [
                 { "sExtends": "editor_create", "editor": editor },
                 { "sExtends": "editor_edit", "editor": editor },
                 { "sExtends": "editor_remove", "editor": editor }
             ]
}
...

 $('#TSSRAvail').DataTable( {
...
 {  
      "data": null,
      "type": "checkbox",
      "defaultContent": "",
       "orderable": false,
  },
