Number fields

Number fields store values you count, measure, price, or score. All five sort numerically, filter with = ≠ > ≥ < ≤, and can feed Formula and Rollup calculations.

Number

Whole numbers (integers).

  • Stores: an integer.
  • Use for: counts, quantities, sort order, IDs that are numeric.

Decimal number

Numbers with decimal places.

  • Stores: a decimal value.
  • Use for: weights, rates, measurements — anything fractional.
  • Number vs. Decimal number: use Number when the value is always whole; Decimal number when fractions matter.

Money

An amount together with a currency.

  • Stores: amount + currency (the currency is set on the field).
  • Behaves: formatted automatically with the currency symbol. Changing the field's currency does not re-convert existing amounts — it only changes how they're displayed.
  • Use for: prices, budgets, totals.

Percentages

A percentage value, shown with a %.

  • Stores: a number displayed as a percentage.
  • Option — clamp to 0–100: when enabled, values outside 0–100 are rejected (ideal for progress or completion); leave it off for values that can exceed 100 (e.g. growth).
  • Use for: discounts, VAT, completion, margins.

Rating

A score on a star scale.

  • Stores: a rating value.
  • Behaves: shown as stars; click to set.
  • Use for: lead scoring, product or supplier ratings, quick prioritization.
