Defining integer fields

Define an integer field by setting the data type, a value range, and a default value.

Before you begin

Learn about the data type. For more information, see Data types.

Procedure

  1. Define basic information about the field. For more information, see Defining fields and adding them to field groups.
  2. Select Integer in Data Type.
  3. Optional: In Minimum Value enter the lowest integer value that is allowed.
  4. Optional: In Maximum Value enter the greatest integer value that is allowed.
  5. Optional: You can define ranges of values and apply colors to each range.

    Following the paragraph that states Bottoms of ranges are inclusive. Tops of ranges are exclusive, except for the highest possible range., click Add (a plus sign) to start building ranges. Choose a color for each range of values for the field. The available colors depend on the color palette you selected.

    If you choose no color (the white cell), the value renders as gray.

    For more information about applying range values and colors, see Colors for field value ranges.

  6. Optional: In Default Value enter an integer value that is between the minimum and maximum allowable values.
  7. Expand Profiles. From the Object Profiles list, select the profiles that can use the field. By default, all profiles that the object type belongs to are selected.
  8. Click Done.
