Setting the Properties of the Value Input Widget

This widget records numbers, like quantity, age, inventory, or amounts. It can handle up to 15 digits. If the number is too long, the system will add separators.

For numbers over 15 digits, use the text widget.

Decimal Places

Set how many decimal places to keep. It starts at 0 by default, which works well for entering amounts. After you save the form, you can only increase the number of decimal places.

If you choose 2 decimal places, it will keep just 2. If you type more than that, the platform will round the number automatically.

Verification

Limit the field's length and format to keep data accurate and valid.
  • Mandatory: If checked, the field is required and shows a * next to it.
  • Set the value range, like 10.01 to 1000.99, to keep the data accurate.

Conditions

Set field properties like Read-only, Disable, and Hide.
  • Read-only: If checked, the field is read-only.
  • Disable: If checked, the field shows but cannot be edited.
  • Hide: If checked, the field is hidden on the page.

Width

Width: Widget width as a ratio of the page width. Set the widget width to make the page look better and more professional.

Figure 7 Setting the widget width
  • 1/4: Widget is 1/4 of the page width.
  • 1/3: Widget is 1/3 of the page width.
  • 1/2: Widget is 1/2 of the page width.
  • 2/3: Widget is 2/3 of the page width.
  • 3/4: Widget is 3/4 of the page width.
  • 1: Widget is full page width (default).

Default Value

Set a default value for the widget (defaults to "Please enter" if not set). This reduces user input, speeds up processes, and prevents invalid entries.
