The step setting will affect how the values are displayed on the scale.

  • If you want to display whole numbers, enter 1 in the step box.
  • If you want to display decimals, e.g. 1 decimal place, enter 0.5 in the step box.

Default values and field icons

Set a dynamic default value in your Scale field. If you would like to retrieve a value from an entry see the Get a Value From an Entry page. If you would like to set a default value, see the Default Values page.
