Guide
Number field represents, well, some number. Pick between Number, Money, and Percentage formatting.
Decimal places
Select the precision of a Field by specifying the number of decimal places: e.g. 2 for 1.32 and 0 for simply 1.
If later you find out that you need more or fewer decimal places:
👌 0 → multiple;
👌 multiple (e.g. 2) → multiple (e.g. 4);
🙅 multiple → 0.
(if this is your case, please get in touch)
Decimal and thousands separators
Every person sees numbers in a format set in their Personal preferences. This means the same Number Field value might look like 1,234.56 for you and 1 234,56 for your colleague — see our internationalization principles. The preferences are initially based on the user's browser locale but everyone is free to adjust them.
The Field creator only specifies if a given Number Field needs a thousand separator.
Visualize as a progress bar
You can visualize numeric values of the Number field as a progress bar in Views. It works only for the percentage field type. For example, if you have a Field Completion, you will see Completion (progress bar) unit in the View setup. The field is fully editable.
