Appendix: Creating a Number or Currency Question

The Number and Currency question types consists of a text field, which will only accept a numeric response. Responses to Number questions must be a 32-bit integer - a whole number between –2147483648 and 2147483647 - which can not contain a decimal place. In contrast, Currency questions are almost identical, except they do accept responses containing decimals.

Implementation:

  1. Switch to the Definition tab.
  2. Select the intended question group.
  3. Add a question and change its type to Number or Currency.
  4. Use the Question Text field to enter the text you want to appear alongside the question.
  5. Enter a unique keyword in the Question Keyword field.
  6. (Optional) If you want to pass the provided response to a variable, select the intended one in the Target Model Variable drop-down menu.
  7. (Optional) If you want to add a default numeric response that will appear in the question field before the end user has provided their own, tick the Default Response Value check box and enter the default response in the text field.
  8. (Optional) Switch to Further Question Options and change the settings as required.
  9. Click Save Question.
