Restrictions

Only input of numbers supported. Values with numbers and characters are not supported.

 Valid: 10.5
 Not valid: PP10.5

Considerations

You might think number fields are best suited for GTN or EAN numbers. Picturepark NumberFilter, however, does only allow numbers in ranges, which is not suitable for GTN/EAN numbers. We recommended using text fields. 

Examples

  • The exchange rate for Currency

  • Product prices

  • Phone numbers

Number Value Handling

Picturepark Setup Example

Layer: Corporate Information (ID: CorporateInformation)

Field: Product Price (ID: productPrice, decimal) 

Fieldpath

corporateInformation.productPrice

Advanced search for the field value

corporateInformation.productPrice:84

  • The syntax finds all Content Items with the field "Product Price" available with the value "84". Wildcards 8* do not work in this case.

Pattern

Use a JSON Schema regex for the pattern. See here for valid examples:

Example: numberFieldValue <= Maximum Value

Required

UI required

Sortable

Sort items based on the number entered to find the smallest or largest number.

Include in filters

Enable to use the numbers in filters. It is required to define ranges for numbers, like for the Product Price define ranges like: 

  • 0 - 100: displayed as "low-price."

  • 101 - 1000: displayed as "high-price."

When working with product numbers, ranges are not sufficient, but the configuration of filters in the Content Browser does not allow number filters without ranges. We recommend using text fields for product numbers.
