Pupil Tracking supports the 3 field types below:

Text
A text field will accept alphanumeric data( e.g. 1,2,3,A,B,C). However when this data is downloaded as an Excel file it will still be treated by Excel as text and will not allow you to use formulas unless you manually convert the text to numbers.
   
Whole Number
A whole number field will only accept whole numbers (e.g. 1,2,3). Any text entered into this field will appear as 0 (zero).
   
Decimal
A decimal field will only accept numbers to 1 decimal place (e.g. 1.1,1.2,1.3). Any text entered into this field will appear as 0.0 (zero point zero).
