Number

Number takes a plain number: years of experience, hours a week, how many of something. It is one of only two types logic can compare, which makes it the field to reach for when a rule has to weigh an answer rather than match it. It sits in the Numeric group of the Add Content palette.

​

Settings

The card carries the settings every field shares. Number adds four of its own.

• Placeholder, up to 255 characters, shown in the empty box.
• Minimum Value and Maximum Value, the ends of the range you accept.
• Steps, the size of one step. Set it to 1 to insist on whole numbers.

The messages a respondent sees when an answer falls outside the range sit under Validation in Languages and translations, as Min Number and Max Number.

Evaluation

Switch Criteria, Scoring, or Skills on for the form in the Evaluation tab and each one gets a switch on this card. Number suits Scoring better than any other type. A threshold gives full points, a lower one gives some, and everything below gives none, all from the value itself.
