- Number - Shows the user a box where they can enter a number and use arrows to increase or decrease the number. To prevent the user from entering a number that's too big, you can select a Character limit further down in the dialog box.
- Slider - Converts the field to a number slider so the user can use it to select a number. You need to specify Maximum and Minimum numbers for this.
- Rating - Converts the field to a rating selector. You need to specify an Icon to use, the Color, and the Number of icons.

- Choose how you want the field Label to appear:
- Inherit from model property - Uses the property name as the field label.
- Override - You can change the field label completely. Choosing this option shows a new Override label box, where you can type the new field label you want to appear to the user.
-
Hide - Hides the field label from the user.
Note
If you hide the field label, we recommend providing either Placeholder text or some Help text so your users know what to do with the form field.
- In the Placeholder box, type the text to appear inside the field when the user hasn't entered a value yet, for example, "Enter your full name."
- To hide the field from the form, clear the Visible option.
- To make sure the user completes the field, select the Required option. Otherwise, the user can submit the form without completing this field.
- If you want the field to appear on the form without the user editing it, you can clear the Enabled option.
- To provide some help to the user and instruct them what they need to enter in the field, under the Help text section, type in your instructions.
- If you want to change the default Minimum and Maximum values, enter them here.
- If you want to let the user also enter a number next to the slider, select the Show number input next to slider option.
