This guide is designed to help you configure input limits (minimum value, maximum value, and step) for fields that require number entry within your forms.
These settings are available only for fields that have been configured as "Numeric" type.
Step-by-step Guide: Setting Limits for Numeric Fields
Follow these steps to configure the limits of your field:
1. Access the Field Settings
1. Open the form editor for the form you want to modify.
2. In the Fields section, locate the numeric field you want to configure and open its settings.
2. Configure the Input Type
If the field is not already numeric, you need to set it as such:
1. In the main section of the field settings, find the dropdown menu labeled Input Type.
2. Select the Numeric option.
> Note: After selecting "Numeric," a new section containing limit options will automatically appear further down.
3. Set Field Limits
Use the following fields to define the range and step for accepted numbers:
A. Minimum Value
1. Locate the field labeled Minimum Value.
2. Enter the lowest number that users can enter in this field.
B. Maximum Value
1. Locate the field labeled Maximum Value.
2. Enter the highest number that users can enter in this field.
C. Minimum Increment (Step)
1. Locate the field labeled Minimum Increment.
2. Enter the "step" by which the numeric value can be increased or decreased.
| Example Value | Description |
|---|---|
1 | Accepts only integer numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3...). |
0.1 | Accepts numbers with one decimal place (e.g., 1.0, 1.1, 1.2...). |
