Manage Locales

Use the table window in this screen to set up report locales, which specify how report data should be formatted regarding language, numbers, and date/time preferences.

Report locale ID data used throughout Costpoint is validated against your entries in this screen.

Although this field is not required, Costpoint provides a default report locale ID (en_US) for this screen (in the W_LOCALE table) and displays this default in the Configure System Settings screen. This locale is used as a company default unless you have specified a different locale in the Configure System Settings screen or you have overwritten the default on an individual user preference basis in the Manage Users screen (in the Printing Defaults tab). For convenience, you must set up the system defaults first and then make changes on an individual user basis as desired and where applicable.

Set up this screen during initialization before you enter data in the Configure System Settings and Manage Users screens. You can assign a default locale ID for the system in the Configure System Settings screen, and you can overwrite the system default locale ID with a default specific for the user in the Manage Users screen (in the Printing Defaults tab).
