What is a Number form field?

A number form field is a type of form field that allows the user to enter the integer numbers, without fractional part. Often, a number form field is used to provide a specific number that should be used together with a function, generally DateAdd(), DateSubtract(), or FormatNumber().

Creating a number form field

In its simplest form, a form field relies on a Name and a Label, the Name being used in the binding syntax and the Label being placed above the textbox for user guidance. Therefore the simplest textbox creation consists of the following steps:

1. Go to the Dynamics Designer
2. Click the Form tab.
3. Click Add form field
4. Select Number
5. Fill out the Name and Label and any additional options
6. Click Save

Additional options

• Required: Check this box if you'd like to mandate the user fills out the textbox, an asterisk will indicate to them that it's required.
• Placeholder: Prepopulate a number that is deleted when the textbox is clicked.
• Default Value: Prepopulate the number that stays when clicked and is editable.
• Spacing before: Adds space above the form field.
• Space after: Adds space below the form field.
• Helptext prefix: Adds help text above the dropdown, this can be useful for guiding the user on filling out the form field.
• Helptext postfix: Adds help text below the dropdown, this can be useful for guiding the user on filling out the form field.
• Share value: Allows the form field to be recognizable as shared by dynamic documents.
