Basic Properties

The Basic Properties tab establishes the field’s identity and its relationship to the parent object.

Data Type Properties

When the Price data type is selected, specific configuration options become available to control the precision of your financial data:

• Max Digits: Defines the total number of digits allowed in the field, including both the whole number and fractional parts.
• Decimal Places: Specifies the number of digits to be displayed and stored after the decimal point. For standard currencies, this is typically set to 2 (e.g., $10.99).

  Note on Precision: It is important to balance these two settings to ensure your field can hold the required values. For example, setting Max Digits to 8 and Decimal Places to 2 allows for a maximum value of 999,999.99. This prevents misconfiguration in high-value financial fields.

Thank you for following these steps to configure your SnapApp components. Building a well-structured data environment is the first step toward creating a powerful, automated application that scales with your needs.
