Properties

Number properties
  1. Default Value: a number filled in for every new task.
  2. Visible: when off, the field is hidden on the web and the field app; its value is still kept and exported.
  3. Required: the task cannot be saved or finished until a number is entered.
  4. Unit: when on, the user picks a unit next to the number. Turning it on fills in KG, G, M3 and CBM.
  5. Min. Value: the lowest number allowed. Leave it empty for no limit.

  8. Show As: show the number in the task list as the task’s Title, Content or Label.
  9. Route As (Initial page only): pass the number to route planning as the visit’s Visit Duration or Visit Group Priority, or as one of your organization’s capacity constraints, such as weight or volume. See Capacity constraints.
