How can I format the display of numeric fields?
You can specify unit of measurement — it will automatically be added with a space when displaying the value in the table.
You can specify that it is monetary — then it will be formatted as 1 2380.00, with a space as the thousands separator and a comma as the decimal separator.
If monetary is active, you can override:
postfix (overrides unit of measurement)
When at least one parameter is overridden, the default monetary format ceases to apply.
You can also set different values for prefix, separators, and postfix for positive (+zero) and negative values — you need to put ** and everything that follows will apply to negative values.
Does formatting a numeric value affect the value stored in the field?
No — this is only a display on the page. The field stores a number with the specified number of decimal places (maximum 10).
If a value with 3 decimal places is entered in a field and the field is set to 2 decimal places, how many decimal places will the entered value be stored?
The value will be saved with the configured in settings number of digits.
Rounding will be performed — its direction can also be configured and the rounding step can be set.
Can a text value be entered in a numeric field?
No, you can't — saving will be blocked by Totum and a warning will be displayed that only numbers are allowed.
There is no difference between . and , for decimal input — you can use either.
And a numeric value in the text field?
Yes — numbers are analogous to letters.
How do I enter a negative relative value entry for a numeric field?
If you enter -100 in the field — it means its final value.
If you want to decrease the current value of the field by 100, you need to enter +-100.
What is the maximum number of decimal places Totum can handle?
10 (ten)!
