When answering a Number type question in DataScope, you may need to enter decimal values.
If your device's numeric keyboard doesn't show a period (.) or comma (,), this mainly depends on the keyboard configured on your device.
📱 What can I do if the period or comma don't show up?
You can use a keyboard that includes these options on its numeric keypad.
One alternative is Gboard, Google's keyboard, available for Android and iOS devices.
Android: You can download Gboard from Google Play.
iPhone or iPad: You can download Gboard from the App Store.
Important: Gboard is a keyboard alternative and isn't a DataScope app. The availability of the period or comma may depend on the regional settings, language, and keyboard selected on your device.
⚙️ How do I change the keyboard I use?
After installing a compatible keyboard, you need to set it up as an available keyboard on your device and select it when entering information in DataScope.
The steps can vary depending on the device model and operating system version.
Android
The setting is usually found under: Settings > System > Keyboard > On-screen keyboard
The path can vary depending on the manufacturer.
iPhone or iPad
Go to: Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards
From there you can add and configure the keyboard you want to use.
Note: the names and paths can vary depending on the Android or iOS version.
🔢 What if I need to enter a decimal number?
Once you've set up a keyboard that lets you enter the decimal separator:
Open the form in DataScope.
Go to the Number type question.
Enter the value using the period or comma available on your keyboard.
For example: 10,5 or 10.5
The separator you can use may depend on your device's regional settings and how the form is configured.
