Customizing the currency format

By default, all Alloy Navigator components display currency values, such as the Unit Price for Purchase Order Items, using the same format settings as the computer where the administrator ran the Database Management tool to create the Alloy Navigator database. You can change this format, if needed.

You customize the currency format for Alloy Navigator using the Regional Settings section of the Settings App. To access this section, navigate to General > Regional Settings from the Sidebar.

To change the currency format:

  1. In the Positive currency format field, choose the format for displaying positive currency values.

  2. In the Negative currency format field, choose the format for displaying negative currency values.

  3. In the No. of digits after decimal field, specify the number of digits after the decimal point in currency values.

  4. Click Save on the Standard toolbar.

    To apply new format settings to all Alloy web and mobile apps, restart Internet Information Services (IIS) on your web server.

To set the system default settings for currency:

  1. Click the Reset button. This sets your system default regional settings for currency.

  2. Click Save on the Standard toolbar.

    To apply new format settings to all Alloy web and mobile apps, restart Internet Information Services (IIS) on your web server.

IMPORTANT: The currency format you specify in the Settings App does not affect to workflow notifications and reports. For more information, see Alloy Navigator How-to: How to configure regional settings for Alloy Navigator.
