Number

This item is for capturing a number value, with a standard input field. There is no restriction regarding the number value that can be entered: one should specify some Validation rule in order to ensure the number is in a valid range and/or is an integer vs. float number.

See also the Slider or Rating items to get more control on the data entry.
