A *Carrot* datatype used by fields that store number values.

:::hint{type="info"}
The `Number` datatype is supported by Custom Fields, however it cannot directly be used to define custom fields. Custom fields that store number values must be defined as one of two `Number` subtypes: `Decimal` or `Integer`.
:::

### Properties

The `Number` datatype does not support any user retrievable properties.

### Sample usage

`numberOfVaccines = 2` returns all records where custom field `numberOfVaccines` has the value `2`.
