Number Fields

The NUMBERS tab contains field types for numeric and sequential data.

• Number Input — Accepts numeric data including measurements, counts, calculations, and scientific readings, with support for integers, decimals, and scientific notation.

• Controlled Number — Deprecated for new forms; existing Controlled Number fields remain supported. Prefer “Number Input” with minimum and maximum bounds for new templates.

• Percentage Slider — A slider for integer percentages (0–100 by default) with optional step size.

• Auto Incrementing Field — Generates sequential string identifiers such as specimen numbers and catalogue IDs.
