To enter numeric information the field type textbox is used in {{IMSMANG}}. When entering numeric data it is very important to use the unit specified in the template and/or the NMAS. If units like meter, kilometer and miles are mixed the data quality will be low.
 
To enter text information there are two different field types:
* text field which is used when there is a maximum length of what is possible to enter e.g. names
* text area which is used when there there is no limitation in length e.g. comments.
 
If the text entered into a text field is too long to be '''displayed''' in the text field, a ''detail button'' is automatically added.
 
If the text entered into a text area is too long to be displayed in the text area, a scrollbar is automatically added.
 
{{Note | It is not possible to store text in the database that is longer that the defined maximum length of the field.}}
