>>If you wanted to use a non-technical term for field types: Integer, Decimal, Boolean? I guess Decimal should be understood by a non-technical person. But I would prefer to find 'better' words for 'Integer" and 'Boolean'

If it is about code, than specific coding environment might do. You can still provide some explanations and examples so a non technical users would have an idea of what's in it.

It will be kind of a technical document but to be used by an end user. So maybe calling non-technical document would be more appropriate.
Thank you.
