Table Numeric Input Properties

The Attributes section includes the object name.

Name	Enter a name for the column.

We strongly recommend that each column is given a suitable and unique name. The object name will, very likely, be referred to when adding behavior..

The Behavior section lists possible events on the object that can prompt a behavior to run.

Numeric Input changes field data

This event occurs when an app user enters data into the numeric input object and the object is exited.

Numeric Input gains focus

This event occurs when the numeric input object becomes the active field.

Numeric Input loses focus

This event occurs when the numeric input object is exited.

This event is different than Numeric Input changes field data in that the event is triggered even when no data has been entered or modified.

Numeric Input is clicked

This event occurs when an app user clicks on the numeric input object.

This event is different than Numeric Input Gains Focus in that the app user must mouse-click on the object in order for the event to occur and any linked behavior commands to run. Tabbing into the object will not trigger this event.

The settings section includes the option to set the column header and width, pre-select the date and mandatory answers.
