Less than or equal checks whether a numeric answer is at or below your threshold — including an exact match at the cap. Use it for spending limits, inventory caps, “score ≤ failing threshold”, and tier ceilings. Number fields only — date fields use Before without an inclusive variant.

When to choose this


Exact behavior

  • Numbers only.
  • Blank source or comparison → never matches.
  • Float comparison (<=); "100" vs 100 works.
  • Pick another field in Value for dynamic ceilings.

Which field types


Blank / unanswered answers

Never matches. Add Is empty for skipped-field paths.

Configure in Studio

1

Open a rule

Logic → Rules, or Branch / Add condition on a field.
2

Select a number field

Currency, integer, rating, calculated total, etc.
3

Choose Less than or equal

Number family only.
4

Enter the cap

e.g. 500, 3.5, or pick Max allowed in Value.
5

Add Then actions

Show blocks warnings, Hide submit when over limit (pair with inverse rule).
6

Test on Fill

At cap, above cap, below cap, blank.

Worked examples

Free tier limit

When Team size less than or equal 5 → Then Show blocks Free plan eligible
Exactly 5 seats qualifies.

Fail band

When Score less than or equal 49 → Then Jump to page Retake
Score 49 matches; 50 does not.

Within approved budget

When Estimated cost less than or equal (pick) Budget cap → Then enable submit path

Inventory warning

When Requested qty less than or equal 0 → Then Hide submit
Combine with validation messaging on canvas.

Test on fill

1

Above cap

Rule off (for ≤ cap rules).
2

Exactly at cap

Rule on.
3

Below cap

Rule on.
4

Empty field

Rule off.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting ≤ on dates — not in Studio for date family.
  • Using Less than when boundary should pass — use ≤.
  • Single rule for both over-cap and under-cap — split into two rules or use separate Rules rows.

Troubleshooting

Field not numeric — use integer/currency or calculated number.
Referenced field blank until filled.
Use Before with (deadline + 1 day) or numeric days-until field.
Currency with many decimals — test realistic inputs on Fill.
