Decimal control
The Decimal control creates a field in which a user can view or enter a number value that contains decimals.
Limitations
If the user types in content that is not a valid number, the bound data item is null when the user triggers a boundary event such as clicking a button. If the flow returns to the coach, the control is empty. Any other controls bound to the same data item are also empty.
Data binding
Set the data binding for the control in the General properties tab.| Binding description | Data type |
|---|---|
| The bound data item contains a Decimal value that the control displays. The Decimal can initially be empty. If the visibility of the control is not read only, the control saves to the bound data item any number that the user enters into it. | Decimal |
