The Integer Fields

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:

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.
