To add a field that only accepts numeral values, choose Numeric Field from the Field type dropdown.

The following field options are supported for numeric fields:


  • Required field – makes data entry required prior to storing a sample
  • Validate input – set criteria for input when entering data in a field
  • Note field – field information for end user displayed in a tooltip balloon
  • Default value – field is filled with the default value if none is provided on sample creation


Input Validation

Use Validate input to validate if the entered value falls within the desired range.
