Number field for forms

What is Number field for forms?

The Number field captures quantities, scores, ages, and other numeric answers as typed numbers. Add it from Add Block → Number in the Formit builder, then pair it with logic or quiz scoring when thresholds matter. Values export as numbers in CSV for calculation-friendly results.

How it works

1. Add Block → Number on the canvas.
2. Configure the numeric entry and any help text for units or expected ranges.
3. Preview, and wire logic thresholds if branching depends on the value.
4. Publish so numeric answers are collected on the live form.

Benefits

• Numeric entry suited to quantities, budgets, headcount, and ages.
• Works with logic thresholds when branching depends on a number.
• Exports as a number in CSV for downstream calculation.

Use cases

• Budget, headcount, or quantity questions on applications.
• Ages or counts that feed logic rules.
• Scores you will calculate or chart in results.

Tips and best practices

• Use Scale or Slider when a visual range is clearer than typing.
• Pair with logic when thresholds should skip or show later questions.
• Clarify units (currency, people, years) in the question or help text.

Frequently asked questions

How do Number answers appear in export?

They export as a number in CSV so you can calculate and chart them.

Can I use Number with logic?

Yes. Pair Number with logic thresholds when branching depends on the numeric answer.

When should I use Slider instead of Number?

Use Slider when an approximate value feels better as a drag control; Number is better for precise typed values.
