How to set up a Numeric Question?

Main Use:

This question type is mainly used to collect exact numerical values (e.g exact age, currency or spending, number/units, percentage). However, this does NOT include collecting phone numbers, postal code etc or collectively known as string numbers. Unlike string numbers, Numeric questions can collect numeric values that can do math or counting. 

If you want to collect string numbers, please use the question type Formatted Text/PII.

How to set up in platform:

1.  In the Questionnaire Builder page, add new question OR insert new question by hovering over an existing question and click the green (+) button (either above or below the existing question)

2. Select Numeric from the popup menu that appears

3. Write your question number or label in the upper box and write your question in the Question Text Box.

4. In the Numeric Format, input the required currency and/or other units before or after the input field.
