1.3 Numeric Field

To define a numeric field, choose the number option at the Field Type field. You can set up validation rules for a numeric field. You can indicate your preference at the validation type field of this screen. The validation types applicable to a numeric field are:

    You can specify the range validation type only for Numeric fields. In this case the entry to the field should be within a permissible range.

    On choosing this validation type, you should indicate either the maximum or minimum values or both values allowed for the field. Any valid entry to the field should be within the range that you specify.
  • Validation Type - Length
    For a numeric field you can indicate that the entry should be of a certain length. You have the option to indicate,
    • A fixed length
    • The maximum and minimum length for the field
    Depending on the option you select, indicate the fixed field length or indicate the maximum and minimum length for valid entries to the field.
  • Validation Type - LOV (List of Values)

    Choose LOV to indicate that the entry to this field can be chosen from a predefined list. On choosing this option you can define the items that should be displayed on this list.
