- Decimal: Essentially the "default" option, Decimal format means that the field will accept decimal answers (distinguishing this field type from a Number – or Integer – field). No other formatting is applied to the field.
- Example value: 3.01012 (notice that the decimal spot is maintained and can go out to as many decimal places as needed).
- Percent: Formats the value such that there is a trailing percentage sign ("%") appended to the end of every value. Values will be rounded up to the nearest Integer percentage (e.g. entering in 50.679% will have the system round the value up to 51%).
- Example value: 51% (notice the trailing % sign at the end of the value).
- Currency: Formats the value such that there is a leading dollar sign ("$") appended to the front of every value. Values can store a maximum of 2 decimal places (since currency values rarely exceed 2 decimal places).
- Example value: $50.67 (notice the leading dollar sign; additionally, a value like 50.679 cannot be entered – it would have to be rounded up to 50.68).
