Number Fields

Number fields only allow users to enter numerical values. Depending on the field properties, numbers may or may not be permitted to contain negatives or decimals.

Example:   The first box in an Address field only allows users to enter a street number.

Number Field Component Information

Use the Component Information pop-up Form grid with pencil edit component info icon to edit the field's properties.
