Numeric Slider

The Numeric Slider special field is similar to the Slider Scale, in that it allows the user to move a button along a scale. With this element, it's much easier to configure a numeric scale. Simply specify a numeric range (Min Value and Max Value properties), and choose the number format.

In this topic, we cover the general properties for this element. Learn about other properties in the Introduction to Validation and Layout Basics.

Property	Description
Field Name	The name used to reference the field and also the name of the column heading in the submission bin.
Style	Select one of the predefined style options.
Min Value	Specify the smallest number for your scale.
Max Value	Specify the largest number for your scale.
Formatting	Choose the number format: one of several currencies, or simple numbers.
Format Data Value	Set this to true if you want the Formatting to be saved in the Data Value.
Visible Labels	Specify the number of increment labels you want to display. The default is zero, which means no slider labels will appear. You may increase the number, but the maximum number of labels that will show depends on the settings in the Field Values property.
Slider Tips	Slider tips appear above the slider button, and change as the user moves the slider to different points along the slider bar. Set the value to false to prevent the display of any tooltips for the slider labels.
Label Source	If the Visible Labels property is set to true, the slider labels will appear at each increment along the bottom of the slider. The source content for these labels comes from either the Data Values or the Display Values found in the Field Values property (for this special field). Choose Data Value if you want to source the label text from Data Values; choose Display Value to source the label text from Display Values.
Tooltip Source	If the Slider Tips property is set to true, the slider tooltips will appear at each increment directly above the slider button. The source content for these tooltips comes from either the Data Values or the Display Values found in the Field Values property (for this special field). Choose Data Value if you want to source the tooltip text from Data Values; choose Display Value to source the tooltip text from Display Values.
Field Values	Click the button to display the Field Values window, in which you can add one or more Data Values. A Data Value is a unique reference for an increment in the slider, and the Display Value is the user-readable description-visible on the slider- that corresponds to the Data Value. Note:  In the Label Source and Tooltip Source properties, you will choose which source you want to populate the labels and tooltips.The source is either the Data Values or the Display Values that you configure here in the Field Values property. Learn more about the Bind Value in Bindings. Click the Related Databuttons to change the data values. To add new Field Value, click the add button. To delete a Field Value, click the delete button.
Tooltip	This is the tooltip for the entire slider element. Enter a short help comment to display nearby when the user hovers over the element.
Caption	Enter the caption text, which appears either beside or above the element.
Multi-line Caption	When the caption wraps, you may notice the line height is wrong. This is when you need to enable the multi-line feature by setting this property to true. Note:  Keep in mind that you can increase the caption width so that the caption text does not wrap.
Admin Caption	This is the caption to use when viewing data via the submission bin record detail window. When left blank, the original caption is used instead.
Defaultvalue	Enter the text which will serve as the default entry until the user replaces the text.
Theme	Set this property to Inherit to use the Field SubTheme defined by the master theme for this form. Or, select a subTheme which will apply directly to this element. Once a subTheme is applied, you can edit it within the ThemeEditor. Learn more in Themes & Styles.
Dependency	Create a dependency to hide or show this element based on a rule. The field becomes "dependent" on other values entered on the form. Learn more in Dependencies.
Hidden	Set this property to true if you want this element to be hidden.
Hide Mode	This property determines how the element is hidden and if it will collapse within the space it would otherwise occupy.
