Number field

A number field type is created specifically to handle numbers, which can represent integers or decimals. The number field type holds numerical values, such as the quantity or currency.

Use Number fields to store numbers that are used in computations or mathematical expressions. For storing some types of numeric values, other field types might be more appropriate. For example, if you need to store a phone number, phone number fields are a better choice than the number field. Use single line text fields to store numbers that are used as text values.

Format numbers

The field modification menu offers several options for customizing number fields. You can specify whether to allow negative values and set the number of decimal places (up to 10).

For integers (whole numbers), set the decimal places to 0. For decimal numbers, choose between 1 decimal place (1.0) and 10 decimal places (1.0000000000).

You can also enhance the display of numeric fields by adding prefixes or suffixes, choosing thousand and decimal separators, and setting a default value.

Any default numerical value you set will automatically apply to all newly created rows.
