Configuring the values of integer-based dimensions

This guide explains the different range modes available when defining integer-based dimension values. Each mode provides a different way to capture a range of numbers.

Quick Reference

Mode Suggested Label Description
Between "1 – 10" A specific range of values
At least "At least 5" Values greater than or equal to N
At most "At most 100" Values less than or equal to N
Exactly "Exactly 42" A single specific value

Need more flexibility? If the predefined modes don't cover your use case, you can write custom expressions using our integer range algebra.

Between

Captures all integers from a minimum to a maximum value (inclusive).

Examples:

  • "1 – 10" → All integers from 1 to 10
  • "0 – 100" → All integers from 0 to 100
  • "-5 – 5" → All integers from -5 to 5

Use case: Scoring ranges, age groups, quantity brackets.

At Least

Captures all integers greater than or equal to a threshold.

Examples:

  • "At least 1" → 1, 2, 3, ... (all positive integers)
  • "At least 100" → 100, 101, 102, ...
  • "At least 0" → All non-negative integers

Use case: Minimum requirements, thresholds, floor values.

At Most

Captures all integers less than or equal to a threshold.

Examples:

  • "At most 10" → ..., 8, 9, 10
  • "At most 0" → All non-positive integers
  • "At most 100" → Anything up to 100

Use case: Maximum limits, caps, ceiling values.

Exactly

Captures a single specific integer value.

Examples:

  • "Exactly 0" → Only the value 0
  • "Exactly 42" → Only the value 42
  • "Exactly -1" → Only the value -1

Use case: Precise matching, sentinel values, specific states.

Custom Expressions

When the predefined modes don't fit your needs, you can write custom integer range expressions.

Basic Syntax

An integer range expression defines a start and end boundary:

<start> ... <end>

The ... operator means the end is exclusive (up to but not including). Use .. for an inclusive end (up to and including).

Special Values

Value Meaning
-Inf Negative infinity (no lower bound)
+Inf Positive infinity (no upper bound)

Expression Examples

Mode Expression
Between 1 and 10 1 ... 11
At least 5 5 ... +Inf
At most 100 -Inf ... 101
Exactly 42 42 ... 43
All integers -Inf ... +Inf

Tips

  1. Exclusive vs Inclusive: Use ... (exclusive) for most ranges. The builder automatically adjusts bounds to match your intent. Use .. (inclusive) when you want the end value included explicitly.

  2. Negative numbers: Negative integers work just like positive ones. For example, -10 ... 0 captures -10 through -1.

  3. Preview: The expression preview shows the resolved range, so you can verify your expression captures the intended values.
