Locale

This page is for administrators who need to configure location-specific settings for PhixFlow.

The locale specifies location-specific settings. You can set the locale:

for the whole PhixFlow system in System Configuration → General Settings → System Locale
for users in Basic Settings → Locale.

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Property Tabs.

Field

Description

Name

Enter the name of the locale.

Language Name

Select the language. To add a language to this list, see Language.

Date Style Name

Select the date style for this locale. To add a new entry to this list, see Date Style Mapping.

For example to represent dates in a US format for US users, set up a US Date Style. For each Date Time Format add a Date Style Mapping with a US date format and the US Date Style. This way for users with a US locale, the date will be displayed in the US format.

Application builders use the locale to translate text strings and date formats; see Translating an Application Interface for details.

The list of locales available in PhixFlow is a standard list. The presence of a specific locale does not indicate that translations are available for the locale.
If a user selects a Locale that has no:

PhixFlow client language file - the PhixFlow GUI continues to be displayed in English (using the clientengb file).
application translation tables - the application text continues to be displayed in English.
