The extended fields tool is enhanced with a new category. A type that limits the content to numeric characters only.

It works in a similar way to the other extended fields. To create a new one, in LMS Admin access the Settings menu and go to the Extended fields section. Click on the New Field button and select the option Number.

The Details menu is displayed, where you can set up the new field, the options are:

• Field Title
• Type, it is not necessary to select it
• Default value, if left blank the value will be zero
• Visible, check this option to show the field, otherwise it won't show
• Required, to make it mandatory to fill it in when creating the content
• Entities, select the type of content in which the field will be shown

Currently, the extended numeric field is available for courses and events. In future versions of the LMS it will also be available for pathways.

Like the other extended fields, once created it can be edited and deleted in the three-dot menu.

When filling it in, only numbers are allowed. If you try to enter other characters an error message is displayed. It does not accept quantities with decimals either, only integer numbers.

Besides the content details menu, it will also appear in the Reports and its search filters.
