There are three types of list fields, which store different types of data: <em>float</em>, <em>integer</em> or, <em>text</em>. The <em>float</em> type allows storing approximate decimal values. The <em>integer</em> type allows storing whole numbers, such as years (for example, 2012) or values (for example, 1, 2, 5, 305). The <em>text</em> list field type allows storing text values. No matter which type of list field you choose, you can define whatever labels you wish for data entry.
