Display Options for Numeric Fields

Numeric fields store signed integers, floating point values, or fixed precision values. A prefix and suffix can also be set for Numeric fields.

Tip: Numeric fields can be used as weights in Trend reports; to ensure accurate results when you use weights, ensure fields that use weighting always have values by setting a default value or setting the field as required.

The following options are defined in SBM Composer.

Integer — Allows for integer values. The maximum positive integer accepted is 2147483643 and the minimum negative integer accepted is -999999999.
Floating Point — The maximum and minimum accepted range of values are determined by your server hardware.
Fixed Precision — The maximum and minimum accepted range of values are determined by your server hardware.
Display digits after decimal point — Indicates the number of digits that will display after the decimal point (with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 15).
Note: Some large integer and floating point values are reserved for internal use. Integer values larger than 2147483643 and floating point numbers between 4294967292.000 and 4294967295.99999 cannot be used in Numeric fields for this reason.
Prefix — Indicates the prefix that appears before the Numeric field value.
Suffix — Indicates the suffix that appears after the Numeric field value.
Show thousands separator — Indicates that values will display with commas. For example, after selecting this check box, a Numeric field would display as 1,000 rather than 1000.
