Number Component

Overview
The Number component is part of our core range of input components. Number fields can collect number values such as integers, decimals, or percentages. Unlike Text Field components, an end-user can only input numbers into this field.
Number components offers these interaction types:
-
Field: A simple text box.
-
Range Slider: A horizontal slider.
-
Stepper: Uses +/- symbols to scroll through number values.
You can also format your Number component for a specific currency. The full list of world currencies is available from the component's configuration window.
You'll find the Number component in the Primary Fields group to the left of the Module Builder.
