Number Input (NUM)

A numeric input field that accepts only integers or decimals, with range validation and optional units.

NUM (Number Input) is a question type that accepts only numeric values. Built-in validation prevents accidental text input, and the values can be treated directly as numbers during tabulation.

When to use it

  • Age
  • Usage count / purchase count
  • Amount (monthly spend, purchase price)
  • Duration (time spent, dwell time)
  • People count / item count

Configuration

  • Min / max value — range check to prevent outliers
  • Decimal places — integer only, 1 decimal, 2 decimals, etc.
  • Unit display — suffix or prefix like "yen", "times", "minutes"
  • Placeholder — muted example value
  • Required / optional

Validation

  • Non-numeric input is automatically rejected
  • Values outside min / max trigger a warning
  • Decimal input for an integer-only field triggers a warning
