A Numeric question allows for numbers to be keyed for indicating quantities within a valid range. Numbers can only be keyed in the Data Entry Player using the keyboard.

The entered numeric values must be within a valid range. That is, the entered values must fall between a minimum and maximum value that was programmed by the survey’s author. When you key and confirm a non-valid numeric value, the Data Entry Player alerts you and requires that a valid numeric value be keyed before proceeding to the next variable.
