NumberFormatting

Overview

The NumberFormatting control supports number formatting functionality for numeric field inputs. Using Number Formatting, number values have the capability to be displayed as notations, percents, or currencies, in numeric formats specific to any locale, and subject to a number of other custom numeric specifications. In addition to granting form creators an array of formatting options to match their needs, this capability increases form readability as users are able to better understand field numeric types without the addition of text-based explanations. Easy and intuitive interpretation of input is provided to users, while database representation remains in the desired un-formatted type.
