Adds a field in which a whole or decimal number can be entered.
- Validation: You can validate values that are entered for this field type by entering a Minimum Value and a Maximum Value so that a warning message will be displayed when a user tries to create or edit an asset with an invalid value for the field. Similarly, you can choose to specify the number of Decimal Places that will be displayed for the field.
-
Value Selection: Specify the values for the following:
- Default Value: Sets a default for the field.
- Increment: The value of the field can be incremented up or down by this amount, by using the arrows in the field value entry field.
Note: If you are adding validation to an existing Decimal field,
validation is not applied to any existing values. Validation
rules are applied only when an asset is created or edited. Adding validation options
to a field type has the effect of making the field a required field, because a valid
value must be entered, regardless of whether or not Required
is checked.
