Number

This form control is supported on Nintex Mobile in both online and offline modes.

The Number form control allows users to enter a numeric value into a form field. You can configure the Numeric control to accept integer or decimal value, and set minimum and maximum values.

The Number control inherits regional settings from the browser and passes decimal values with the decimal point separator to the workflow.

The functionality of this control has been enhanced with the switch to the new workflow engine. For more information about the workflow engine, see Workflow engine.
