# Decimal Additional Fields

A decimal field is used to enter numbers in the decimal format.

Once this format is selected, the following options become available:

- Number of decimal places - select the number of decimal places to be displayed in the tree/view panes. The number of decimal places entered onto data entry forms will display as entered. A maximum of 8 decimal places are allowed.
- Allow negative numbers - select this option to allow users to enter negative numbers.

- Minimum Value - set the lowest value that the field can have.

  This is a value field, rather than a character length field, for example, 1.

  The minimum allowed value is -999 999 999 999 999.

- Maximum Value - set the highest value that the field can have.

  This is a value field, rather than a character length field, for example, 16383.

  The maximum allowed value is 999 999 999 999 999.

- Default Value - set a default value that will appear in the field when it is used for an object, for example, 16382.99999999

NOTE:

- Decimal places - the new decimal field will be stored with as many decimal places as you care to type
- Setting the maximum and minimum values will automatically set the size of the field
- Behaviour for Number, Decimal and Currency Additional Fields. Blank values are treated the same as 0.

See also Creating Additional Fields for definitions of the other common fields, for example, Name and Abbreviation, that appear on this dialogue.
