The Numeric and Numeric Range Fields are used to control the display of fields that will always take in a numerical value. It can be used to create an integer, decimal, currency, or slider field, and can take in a single value (Numeric Field) or two values to create a range (Numeric Range Field).
A minimum and maximum value can be set to limit the user’s input to a specific range.

- Integer: A whole number. Values can be negative or positive, however they cannot contain decimals.

- Currency: A monetary value that allows up to two decimals. Values can be negative or positive, and will be formatted with a dollar sign to represent currency.
