The Real Custom Field is used to input a number that can include decimal places. This is useful for tasks that require more precise measurements or calculations, such as specifying the percentage of waste for a diecut sheet, the percentage ink coverage of the printed sheet, or the diecutting machine pressure. Real Numbers are always displayed with thousand separators.
Configuration Options
The Real Custom Field has the following Configuration Options.
- Name - The name must be unique for its Type; you can't have two String type Custom Fields named "Further Information", but you can have a String and Memo field with that name, as they're of different types. The Name can be translated into any of the Supported Languages by using the flag icon next to the field.
- Description - Optional, but useful for administrators to understand what a Custom Field is used for to help differentiate it from other similar named Custom Fields. Particularly useful where those fields are advanced fields types containing further configuration options. The Description can be translated into any of the Supported Languages by using the flag icon next to the field.
References
The references panel is displayed on all Custom Fields that have been used in one or more Task/Item Types. This allows you to see which Task Types the Custom Field has been used in, along with its Primary Properties. This information is helpful if you need to Delete a Custom Field.
