Number Format

A number format specifies how a number will displayed on grid or form including number of decimal places, whether a thousands separator is required and any prefix and suffix (e.g. for currencies). A default number format may be set for each application or applied to a stream view attribute to format a grid, or applied to a layout component to format forms.
