Decimal (Floating Point) Component Share Share via LinkedIn Reddit Email Copy Link Print On This Page Function a!floatingPointField( label, instructions, required, readOnly, disabled, value, validations, saveInto, validationGroup, requiredMessage, align, labelPosition, refreshAfter, placeholder, helpTooltip, accessibilityText, showWhen ) Displays and allows entry of a single decimal number, stored with a floating point representation. When working with an integer, use an integer component. To display a number using a custom format, use a text component. Parameters Name Keyword Types Description Label label Text Text to display as the field label. Instructions instructions Text Supplemental text about this field. Required required Boolean Determines if a value is required to submit the form. Default: false. Read-only readOnly Boolean Determines if the field should display as not editable. Default: false. Disabled disabled Boolean Determines if the field should display as potentially editable but grayed out. Default: false. Display Value value Number (Decimal) Number to display in the field. Validations validations List of Text String Validation errors to display below the field when the value is not null. Save Input To saveInto List of Save One or more variables that are updated with the number when the user changes it. Use a!save() to save a modified or alternative value to a variable. Validation Group validationGroup Text When present, the requiredness of the field is only evaluated when a button in the same validation group is pressed. The value for this parameter cannot contain spaces. For example, “validation group” is not a valid value. You need to add an underscore between words: “validation_group”. See the following recipes for more information: Configure Buttons with Conditional Requiredness Validation Groups for Buttons with Multiple Validation Rules' Required Message requiredMessage Text Custom message to display when the field's value is required and not provided. Alignment align Text Determines alignment of the number value. Appian recommends this setting only be used inside the Grid Layout component. Valid values: "LEFT", "CENTER", "RIGHT". Label Position labelPosition Text Determines where the label appears. Valid values: "ABOVE" (default) Displays the label above the component. "ADJACENT" Displays the label to the left of the component. "COLLAPSED" Hides the label. The label will still be read by screen readers; see accessibility considerations for more information. "JUSTIFIED" Aligns the label alongside the component starting at the edge of the page. Refresh After refreshAfter Text Determines when the interface is refreshed with the saved value from the barcode field. Valid values are "KEYPRESS" to refresh after every character typed into the field and "UNFOCUS" (the default value) to refresh when the user deselects the field after changing its value. Placeholder placeholder Text Text to display in the field when it is empty. Does not show if the field is read only. Help Tooltip helpTooltip Text Displays a help icon with the specified text as a tooltip. The tooltip displays a maximum of 500 characters. The help icon does not show when the label position is "COLLAPSED". Accessibility Text accessibilityText Text Additional text to be announced by screen readers. Used only for accessibility; produces no visible change. Visibility showWhen Boolean Determines whether the component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and is not evaluated. Default: true. Usage considerations Using text and placeholder text If you want to display a number with thousand separators or with special formatting such as a currency, use the text component. Whether placeholder text clears on focus or input varies by device and browser. Examples Use the interactive editor below to test out your code: Collect a decimal value from a user Display a decimal with a label Decimal with a validation Related Patterns The following patterns include usage of the Decimal (Floating Point) Component. Use Selection For Bulk Actions in an Inline Editable Grid (Grids): Allow the user to edit data inline in a grid one field at a time, or in bulk using selection. Feedback Was this page helpful?
