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. 

Use in Display Pattern

Returned field value

Returns the number as a whole number or decimal, depending on the field setting "Decimal". 

Number Field Settings

Name

No special considerations.

ID

No special considerations.

Checkbox "Decimal"

Enabled: Users can input decimal numbers.
Disabled: Users can input whole numbers.

Once set and saved, this cannot be changed!

Pattern

The input check for the number value e.g., checks for the correct phone number format. 

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

Min. value

The minimum value when editing this field, greater or equal the "min. value" setting. 

Example: numberFieldValue >= Minimum Value

Define a value up to a trillion (minus or plus).
Decimal values are not supported.

Max. value

The minimum value when editing this field, less or equal the "max. value" setting. 

Example: numberFieldValue <= Maximum Value

Define a value up to a trillion (minus or plus), which must be higher than the min value.
Decimal values are not supported.

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.
