Auto Scale in Number	The property is available when the field added in the object is of the Number data type. It specifies whether to automatically scale the field values that fall into the two ranges: When 1000 <= value < 10^15, the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units are used to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12). When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, scientific notation is used to scale the values. The option "auto" means that the property setting follows that of the object's parent data container.

For the Number data type and when the Auto Scale in Number property is true, the Format property applies to the integer part of the values after scaled, but if the specified format conflicts with the Auto Scale in Number property, for example, the values are displayed in percentage, then the Auto Scale in Number property is ignored.
