Now you can make your numbers even more noticeable by adding colors. It works in number fields and is visible in all views.
There are two options: assign a fixed color that always displays on the field value, or set dynamic colors based on value thresholds. Dynamic colors update automatically as values change. You can apply multiple rules, and rules at the top of the list override rules lower on the list. This makes it simple to set up even complex and varied color configurations.
Both options are now available on the Premium plan across the new record experience, Tape Forms, and the mobile app when creating and editing records.
How to set it up
1.) Create a number field in the new record experience (Details here ➔)
2.) Open a record in a database app
3.) Open the ⋮⋮ menu in the left margin when you hover over a number field
4.) Select Color or Dynamic color
5.) Dynamic color: add a rule, choose a threshold and a color
6.) Add more rules as needed
Examples
Negative values turn red
Add one rule: if value < 0, show the value in red
Useful for balances or any field where a negative number signals a problem.
Traffic light for inventory
· value > 10 = green
· value > 3 = orange
· value ≤ 3 = red
Budget tracking
· value > 100% = red
· value 95–99.99% = orange
· value < 95% = green
A lot of this was already possible with Tape’s calculation field. Now users get direct visual feedback on the number field itself, updating live as you type. Check out the full release post for the Number Field ➔
