What is a Currency Field?

Currency Fields are designed to store monetary values.

Field Options

Creating or editing currency fields will have the following options to configure:

Name

This setting allows you to title your currency field. For instance, "Cost" or "Expense". 

Description

This setting allows you to optionally describe your currency field for your own reference. 

Currency Type

This setting allows you to define the type of currency you need to store, such as "$- USD" or "€- EURO". By default the currency type is set to "$- USD".

You can change the currency type by clicking on the currency type drop-down arrow and selecting a new currency type. Currently, you can choose from the following list of currency types:

• AED - United Arab Emirates Dirham - د.إ
• AUD - Australian Dollar - $
• BGN - Bulgarian Lev - Лв
• CAD - Canadian Dollar - $
• CHF - Swiss Franc - Fr.
• EUR - Euro - €
• GBP - Pound Sterling - £
• GHS - Ghanaian Cedi - GH₵

• HRK - Croatian Kuna - kn
• IDR - Indonesian Rupiah - Rp
• ILS - Israeli New Shekel - ₪
• INR - Indian Rupee - ₹

• TRY - Turkish Lira - ₺
• USD - US Dollar - $
• ZAR - South African Rand - R

To add a currency type that is missing from the list, please select the "Custom" option and enter your own currency symbol.

Format

This setting allows you to define the location of the currency symbol as it will display within your Currency Field values. By default the currency symbol format is set to Prefix, meaning the currency symbol will be displayed before the currency value as illustrated in the image below.

Decimal Places

This setting allows you to define how many digits you wish to appear after the decimal within your currency values.

By default the currency decimal place setting is set to 2.

Thousands Delimiter

This setting allows you to define which character you wish to use as a delimiter to separate groups of thousands.

By default, the thousands delimiter is set to None, meaning your currency values will display with no thousands delimiter.

If you wish to change your thousands delimiter setting and choose a delimiter character, you can choose either a comma, period, or space character to separate groups of thousands within your currency values. 

This setting does not affect how the values appear in form inputs and will only effect how the currency displays AFTER a value is saved.

Unique

This setting allows you to define whether each value must be unique per record. 

Placeholder

This setting allows you to enter placeholder text to automatically populate within this field's box on a form when the form loads. Placeholders can be useful for providing instructions, such as "Please enter currency here." When a user begins to type within the field box, the placeholder text will disappear and be overwritten. 

Default Form Value

This setting allows you to enter a default currency value that will automatically populate within this field's box on a form when the form loads. You may only use numbers to create the default form value for a Currency Field.
