This property allows a user to set additional display attributes for a numeric field:

This field is unrolled, when the Drop Down or Radio Buttons option is selected. To make up the list of choice, type in necessary entries in the Choices field. (Note that every new entry should begin with a new line. No punctuation marks are required.)

This property allows a user to specify the way a numeral value should be represented. Select the Use digit grouping check box if you want to group digits of numeric values by thousands.

To draw users’ attention to some numeric values, you can colorize them. The colorization is based on the conditions whether a value is less than an indicated number. Also, a color of an alternative value can be specified in the “otherwise” field. Moreover, you can apply Colorization in Formula-Numeric columns.
