Adds a field in which an integer 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.
- Value Selection: You can use the Default Value field to set a default for the field and also specify an Increment value. If you specify an increment value, 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
Integer 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 the
Required option is selected.
