Customizing Regional Settings

You can customize the format that Alloy Discovery components use to display currency values. This format is applied in the Alloy Discovery Desktop App and Settings App.

NOTE: This format is not applied in reports.

By default, Alloy Discovery components use the same regional settings as the computer hosting the Alloy Discovery database.

To customize regional settings:

  1. From the Sidebar, navigate to General > Regional Settings.
  2. In the Currency symbol field, enter the currency symbol. Examples: $ (U.S. dollar), € (Euro), £ (pound sterling), ¥ (Japanese yen, Chinese yuan).
  3. In the Positive currency format field, choose the format for displaying positive currency values.
  4. In the Negative currency format field, choose the format for displaying negative currency values.
  5. In the No. of digits after decimal field, specify the number of digits after the decimal point in currency values.

To restore regional settings:

  1. From the Sidebar, navigate to General > Regional Settings.
  2. Click the Reset button to revert to the default regional settings.
