-The Number attribute type represents floating point and decimal numbers. Most properties you need to specify for attributes of the Number type are common to all attribute types – see [[docs:2500_config_apps:0700_add_edit_attributes:0100_common_props|Common Properties]].

Most properties you need to specify for attributes of the Number type are common to all attribute types – see [[2500_config_apps:0700_add_edit_attributes:0100_common_props|Common Properties]]. The properties specific to the Number type are:
  
 ===== Format ===== ===== Format =====
  
-The format basically indicates whether the number may have decimal point and also how many digits should be displayed before and after the decimal point. The format is specified as a text string with special symbols. The allowed special symbols are described in the [[docs:8000_appendices:0300_number_format_java|Appendix C]]. You can specify the format directly or click on the “…” icon of the property to bring up the “Number Format” dialog. The following settings can be specified on this dialog:+The format basically indicates whether the number may have decimal point and also how many digits should be displayed before and after the decimal point.

 This determines the value for the first instance of the object or the first instance of the “group” of instances. The default value is taken from the Value Range defined for the number (if undefined 1 is used). You can also specify an attribute that will hold the initial value. This determines the value for the first instance of the object or the first instance of the “group” of instances.

-<callout type="primary" icon="true" title="note"> //**AwareIM**// increments values of numbers that do not involve groups of instances BEFORE rules are evaluated for the object, so if rules use auto-incremented attributes, their values will already have been calculated. However, if auto-incremented attributes involve group instances their values are incremented AFTER rules are evaluated. If you have to use incremented values for such attributes in rules, set the auto-incremented values “manually” using the ''[[ref:a_f:f:af:next_sequence_nmb|NEXT_SEQUENCE_NMB]]'' function, for example:+<alert type="primary" icon="fa info-circle">
