Datamapper Default Format Settings
Datamapper stores user preferences for the Date, Number and Currency formats. By default,
the user preferences are set to the system preferences. These user preferences become the
default format values for any newly created data mapping configuration.
Format settings can also be defined at the data mapping configuration level ("Data mapping
configurations" on page151) and/or per field in the Data Model. Any format settings specified in
an existing field are always used, regardless of the user preferences or data source settings.
l
Negative Sign Before : A negative sign will be displayed before any negative value.
l
Decimal Separator : Set the decimal separator for a numerical value.
l
Thousand Separator: Set the thousand separator for a numerical value.
l
Currency Sign : Set the currency sign for a currency value.
l
Date Format : Set the date format for a date value.
l
Date Language : Set the date language for a date value (ex: If English is selected, the
term May will be identified as the month of May).
l

l Restore Defaults. This option restores the preferences to Defaults. This applies to the
current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
