Culture Formats Override#

Override the current culture formatter configuration by adding key-value pairs under general.formatter in the config.json file. This configuration is intended for application administrators and isn't available as a user preference in the Critical Manufacturing MES GUI.

Configuration#

• currency - Specific overrides to format the currency numeric values.
  • symbol (string) - Currency symbol to use (note: since this could be also defined in /Cmf/Guis/Configuration/CurrencyFormat/Symbol that config has precedence over the one in config.json; if non defined, defaults to the current culture symbol)
  • decimalPlaces (number) - Currency fixed number of decimal places to use (note: since this could be also defined in /Cmf/Guis/Configuration/CurrencyFormat/DecimalPlaces/ that config has precedence over the one in config.json; if non defined, defaults to the current culture currency decimal places)
• number - Overrides to format any numeric values.
  • decimalPlaces (number) - Maximum number of decimal places that a number can display (currency numeric values not affected) (defaults to current culture decimal places if not defined)
  • thousandSeparator (string) - String to separate thousand groupings. (defaults to current culture separator if not defined)
  • decimalSeparator (string) - String to separate the decimal part in a number (defaults to current culture separator if not defined)
• datetime - Overrides the formatting of date and time values.
  • date (string) - Date format. The default value is the date format of the current culture. For the supported values, see Supported Date Formats.
  • time (string) - Time format (defaults to current culture). Supported formats:
    • HH:mm
    • hh:mm A
    • HH:mm:ss
    • hh:mm:ss A
  • firstDayOfWeek (string) - First day of week (defaults to current culture). Supported formats:

    • Monday
    • Tuesday
    • Wednesday
