The Integer Fields
When an instance is created for a class with a slot of Value Type Integer, the entry field corresponding to the slot is an Integer entry field, taking whole numbers as values.
Single Cardinality
The entry field corresponding to a slot of value type Integer with Cardinality Single can contain a single integer number. It appears as an entry bar:
To edit a value, click in the entry field and make your edits.
To create a value, enter a whole number in the entry field.
To clear a value, delete the value in the entry field.
Error Detection
The information in a Integer field must be a whole number. If you enter text or other invalid information, such as values less than the minimum or greater than the maximum, the entered value will be displayed in red and will not be saved by the system. The previous value (if any) will be used instead. The following example shows such an invalid entry ("four") in an Integer field:
Multiple Cardinality
The entry field corresponding to a slot of type Integer with Cardinality Multiple shows a display list with three buttons. This field takes a list of integer values. If the at most value is set in the Cardinality field for the slot, there is a limit on the number of values you can enter.
To edit a pre-existing value:
Select the value you want to edit.
Click the View Value () button. An Edit Integer Value dialog box will be displayed.
Edit the number directly in the dialog box.
Click OK.
To add a value:
Click the Create Value () button. A Create Integer Value dialog box will be displayed.
Enter a whole number in the entry bar. You can enter positive or negative values.
Click OK.
To remove a value:
Select the value(s) you want to remove. You can select multiple values by holding down the Ctrl (Cmd) key.
Click the Remove Value () button. The selected values will be removed.
