Report Locale¶
Content¶
Overview¶
Report locale functionality in IFS Cloud allows you to customize the number formatting, date formatting, and other regional settings used in your operational reports (Report designer layouts). This ensures that reports are displayed and formatted in a way that is appropriate for users in different regions.
Date Formats used throughout different parts of the world differ quite a bit. When formatting a report; the selected locale typically controls how dates and numbers are formatted. The exception to this would be if a date/number field of a report layout has been defined to use a hardcoded format and or formatted according to a hardcoded locale.
In IFS Report Designer, date fields and number fields can be formatted based on the runtime locale. For date fields use either short, medium, long, or full date format. When formatting date values, those are formatted based on standardized formatting rules. If the standard rules are not enough, they can be overridden using functionality available in IFS Cloud.
