A number format specifies how a number will displayed on grid or form, including number of decimal places, whether a thousands separator is required or prefix and suffix (for example for currencies). A number format can be applied to a stream view attribute to format a component in a grid, or applied to a layout component to format forms. A default number format may be set in system configuration and for each application.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the Number Format |
| Number of Decimal Places | Number of decimal places to display |
| Prefix | Prefix to display before the number |
| Suffix | Suffix to display after the number |
| Use Thousands Separator | Whether a thousands separator is required if the number to display is over 1000 |
