Example of Use
To illustrate the practical application of the number slider field, consider the following scenario in a Product Management Solution:
Suppose you are tracking metrics for a product feature's score. One of the metrics is "Reach," which measures the extent of the feature's impact. By utilizing the number slider field, you can create a Features Score record with a number slider specifically designed to track the Reach metric. This allows you to visually monitor and update the Reach value as the feature progresses, providing valuable insights into the overall score.
