# Number of Digits After Decimal Point

For certain fields with the **Number** type, you can set up how many digits will be shown after the decimal point when the value is not a whole number (such as 1, 5, 15, etc.), but a number with fractions (such as 0.1, 0.32, 0.355, etc.). By default, such fields display two digits after the decimal point, and the number is rounded if necessary.

At present, the number of digits after the decimal point can be configured for any field with the **Number** type in the following SharePoint lists:

- **Employee Salary Details**
- **Employee Salary History**

The specified number of digits after the decimal point will be displayed on forms where these fields are used as well as on reports, such as Salary Sheet.

*Note**Additionally, for the **Full Time Equivalent** field, displayed in the salary details, salary history, employment history, as well as in the **Current Assignments** section on the employee card, you can configure the number of digits after the decimal point on the **Employee** **Salary Details**, **Employee** **Salary History**, and **Employment History** lists.*

2. Locate and open the settings for the list that has the field for which you want to configure the number of digits after the decimal point. The following lists support this feature:

  - **Employment History** (only the **Full Time Equivalent** field)
