Min: The minimum number allowed for the answer when the Number type is selected
Max: The maximum number allowed for the answer when the Number type is selected
Increment: The number increment allowed for the answer when the Number type is selected
If the answer is to be typed in feet or inches enter the corresponding decimal for the fractional increment desired. For example, to allow an answer in 16ths of an inch, your increment would be 0.0625.
Item: Enter an item from the Item Master if the Number type is selected and you need an additional item for contract or special pricing
Unit: Enter the unit of the item
Price Adjustment: Check this box if the answer determines a price change in the configurable item
