A Real number field may contain any rational value that can be represented by the platform OS. Real numbers can participate in numeric expressions, calculations, and functions.

Real values are displayed and exported using a decimal point determined based on locale.

Name
Textual, case-insensitive field identifier that can include spaces; it's best to avoid characters that can be used as operators, though (standard across all field types)
Hint
Textual, case-insensitive field identifier that can include spaces

Advanced Parameters

Default Value

Calculator
Add a calculator button to assist during entry/edit
Thousands separators
Display value with spaces (or platform locale-based setting?) inserted to signify thousands
Unit of measure (Mobile release 4+ only)

Required
