Number

Store numeric values you want to calculate, compare, or format consistently.

Use a Number field for values you want to calculate, compare, or format consistently.

For the general settings all data fields have in common, see Shared field settings.

Field-specific settings for Number are:

General

• Default value: fills the field automatically in new records
• Minimum value: sets the lowest allowed number
• Maximum value: sets the highest allowed number

Display

• Style: formats the value as Decimal, Currency, Percent, or Unit
• Decimal places: controls how many decimal places Ninox shows
• Grouping separator: adds or removes the thousands separator

Use Number when the value needs calculations or numeric filters. If users should enter text that only looks numeric, use Text instead.

For example, ZIP codes can contain leading zeros or non-numeric characters that a number field cannot display. Use Phone for telephone numbers.
