The **Number** field gives the visitor a box that only accepts a number. Use it for a budget on a quote request, the number of guests at a tasting, the headcount for a wholesale order, or the character count someone wants engraved. ## 🔧 How to Set It In the form editor, click **Add element**, open the **Number** category and pick **Number**. The field is added and its settings open on the left. See [Add and arrange elements](/build-your-form/add-and-arrange-elements.md) for the other ways to add a field and how to reorder them.
## 🔧 Settings Only the settings specific to this field are listed here. **Label**, **Placeholder**, **Description**, **Required**, **Hide label**, **Column width**, **Conditional display** and the rest of the shared settings work the same on every field.

> 💡 Because it's a real number, conditional rules on this field offer is greater than / is less than, in addition to is equal to / is not equal to — letting you ask a follow-up question only for larger values. ## 🔄 How It Works **What the visitor sees:** A box that only accepts a number — possibly with small up/down arrows, and a numeric keypad on mobile. **What happens outside the range:** The limit applies immediately, not at submit. If the visitor types a number beyond **Set min/max value**, the field auto-corrects to the nearest bound right away. **Example:** **Set max value** = `10`. A visitor types `20` — the field immediately changes it to `10`, before they even reach Submit.
## Next steps * [Quantity](/field-types/number-fields/quantity.md) — the same idea with minus and plus buttons. * [Range slider](/field-types/selects/range-slider.md) — let the visitor drag instead of type. * [Show or hide fields with conditional logic](/build-your-form/conditional-logic.md) — react to the number someone enters.
