Setting the NumberUI parameters

NumberUI supports:

  • Precision (decimal places).
  • Automatic zero padding. For example, if set to two decimal places and 1.1 is entered, the system automatically pads with zeros to create 1.10.
  • Minimum and maximum configuration. Any numeric field can be set to have a specified minimum and maximum value.
  • Locale format. All numbers use the format that is defined for their locale. For example, one thousand could be formatted as 1000.00, 1,000.00, or 1000,00 depending on the locale.
  • Negative number color-coding. You can set negative numbers to display in a contrasting color to make losses more visible.
  • Currency locale. All currency values will display in a system-wide currency that is formatted for the user’s locale.

To set the NumberUI parameters:

  1. Click the Turn ON config mode icon.
  2. Navigate to a WFM page with a field that uses NumberUI as the Field UI type (such as the Job Rate field on the Job page).
  3. Click the configuration diamond beside the field.
    The Field Localization pop-up is displayed.
  4. Set the parameters in the Field Parameters field, as required:
    precision=
    Set the number of decimal places you want to allow.
    zeroPadding=
    Set to True or False.

    If True, the system will automatically add zeroes to the right of the decimal place when the number does not fulfill the precision requirement. For example, 1.1 is changed to 1.10 when the precision is set to 2.

    This parameter is ignored if the precision parameter is absent.

    min=
    Specify the minimum number you want to allow.
    max=
    Specify the maximum number you want to allow.
    renderLocalized=
    Set to True to set the number format as defined for the user’s locale.

    Set to False to set the number format as entered by the user.

  5. Click Save and close the window.
  6. Click the Turn OFF config mode icon.
