Set a Column’s Format
Some control types allow a user to set the column’s format.
To apply formatting to a column, select an option from the Format list box on the Page Columns page’s Vertical View. For a check box, select an option from the Checkbox Format ID list box. Numeric fields allow for additional formatting options.
To apply additional formats to a numeric column:
-

-
Click Edit.
-
Select an option from theFormat list box.
NOTE: Depending on the Format selected and the purpose of the field, set these additional options.
-
Enter a value in the Numeric Scale text box.
NOTE: The Numeric Scale field determines the number of decimal places to display after the decimal separator.
-
Click Display Thousands Separator check box.
NOTE: The Display Thousands Separator will force a number to use the current user’s locale to display a number such as 4213.22 as 4,213.22 given that English – United States is selected in the Currency Locale ID list box.
-
Click Total check box.
NOTE: A totals column recalculates when records are added, deleted, or modified.
-
Click Save.
