Use the Number element in the form builder if the form must have a field that allows the user to enter only numeric values during bot runtime.

Procedure

  1. On the left pane, click Automation.
    A list of available bots and forms is displayed.
  2. Click an existing form or click Create new > Form.

    The form builder page appears.

  3. Drag Number into the form.
  4. Enter the name of the element in the Element label field.
  5. Set the default value for the element.
  6. Enter the minimum and maximum number of characters that users can enter in this field during bot runtime.
  7. Optional: Enter the hint text and tooltip for the check box element.
  8. Optional: Enable any of the following Advance behavior options:
    • Select the Make field required check box to ensure users select this element during bot runtime.
    • Select the Make field uneditable check box to make the element a read-only option.
  9. Use the Formatting options to enable users to enter negative values, trailing zeroes, and comma during bot runtime.
  10. Use the Decimals drop-down menu to set the number of decimal places.
  11. Use the Special characters field to enter the prefix and suffix labels for the element.
  12. Optional: Click one of the following options:
    • Reset: Clears all the element customization and sets the default.
    • Delete: Deletes the selected element.
  13. Click Save.
    Note: If you submit a number field with an empty value, and its output variable is later referenced by another number element in a different form step, the referenced field displays 0 at run time instead of an empty value. It ensures more consistent and reliable form behavior at run time.
