The Data type field is used to set the data type of an attribute.
| Data type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | Contains a boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or UNKNOWN |
| String | Contains a text string of max. 500 characters |
| Number | Contains a numerical value |
| Date | Contains a date. The format depends on the locale of the application server |
| Datetime | Contains a date and time. The format depends on the locale of the application server |
| Percentage | Contains a numerical value, representing a percentage. Note that that a value of a percentage is treated just like any number. the percentage is mainly used for presentation, in mathematical operations the percentage acts the same as a Number. If you want a percentage attribute to act as a percentage in a multiplication (i.e., 25 % * 80 = 20) , you have to divide the result by 100. |
| Currency | Contains a numerical value, representing a currency |
| Integer | Contains an integer value |
For the numerical types (Number/Percentage/Currency/Integer), there are rules which mathematical operations can be applied between attributes of the same or different type. See Expression function reference.
