Adding a number element to an item

You add a number element to a site area or content item when you want a numerical value to be used for a specific site area or content item.

1. Open or create a site area or content item.
2. Click Manage Elements.
3. Select Number as the element type.
4. Enter a name. Do not use double-byte and non-ASCII characters.
5. Enter a display title to use as the title of the element displayed indexes and forms.
6. If you create a text provider plug-in for a multi-locale site, you can also select the text provider and enter a key to look up a string from the selected text provider. The text provider displays a different display title for each language it is configured for. The text that is entered in the Display Title field is only used if an appropriate display title is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.
7. Click OK. The number element is added to your form.
8. Go to the number element you created. Enter a numerical value. The maximum number of digits that can be entered into a number element is 16.
9. Save the item form.
