Valid input values for settings made in the editors

Each element in your app is made up of several components that can be defined individually. This is, for example, the background color of the entire button, the value color within the button or the height of the button itself. 

In addition to the optical settings, there are also functional settings, which can vary depending on the content type. For the number formats, you can define additional options such as the maximum or minimum allowed value that can be entered in the cell.

This way, you are able to adapt your app to your corporate identity or add additional restrictions to certain cells.

In this article, you'll find all valid input values for settings made in the editors.

• Caption
• Metric text
• Step size
• Minimum value
• Maximum value

Caption

Sets a caption (normally at the left top). This can be used to set titles.

Metric text

Sets an additional caption (normally at the right top). This can be used to set value descriptions.

Step size

Use the step size setting to define the decrease/increase of the value when the edit button (- / +) is pressed in the app.

Note: You can only define integers as step size if the content type of your input cell is an integer itself. For other content types like currency or double, you can define decimal values (use a point . instead of comma , as a separator) as the step size.

It is possible to use negative values. The meaningfulness of this setting is, however, questionable, since one would reduce the value by clicking the + button.

For content type "percent" divide step size value by 100. This means for a step size of 1% you have to enter the value 0.01.

Minimal value

Sets the minimum value of this input cell (for numeric values).

Please note that you can only define integers as a minimal value if the content type of your input cell is an integer itself. For other content types like currency or double, you can define decimal values (use a point . instead of comma , as a separator) as a minimum value.

It is possible to use negative values.

For content type "percent" divide the minimal value by 100. This means for a minimum value of 2% you have to enter the value 0.02.

Maximal value

Sets the maximum value of this input cell (for numeric values).

Please note that you can only define integers as the maximal value if the content type of your input cell is an integer itself. For other content types like currency or double, you can define decimal values (use a point . instead of comma , as a separator) as the maximum value.

It is possible to use negative values.

For content type "percent" divide the maximal value by 100. This means for a maximal value of 5% you have to enter the value 0.05.
