Generate any random number between two integers by using the Number component in RPA Desktop Design Studio.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

You can configure the properties for the Number component. For more information about
these properties, see [Properties of the Random components](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/1QeDDY8ojkKNWPFnYc6Rcg "Learn about the properties of the Random components in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").

## Procedure

1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to UtilitiesRandom.
2. Drag the Number component to the Design surface.
3. To configure the input fields, see [Configure port properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/o6fErdzBCUqYUWlLG1ZZzQ "Configure how data is passed to the input fields of a component or method in RPA Desktop Design Studio.").
4. Connect the data and control ports of the Number component to the corresponding ports of the other components.

   | Port type | Purpose of connection | Mandatory? |
   |-|-|-|
   | Data In (Min) | Takes the starting integer of the range from a previously executed component. | Yes |
   | Data In (Max) | Takes the ending integer of the range from a previously executed component. | Yes |
   | Data Out (Return) | Returns the random number and passes to the next component. | Yes |
   | Control In | Connects to the Control Out port of one or more components. | No. Connecting the port is optional. |
   | Control Out | Connects to the Control In port of another component or the default end component. | No. Connecting the port is optional. |
