Custom Display Formats

In addition to the other categories, Arcadia Enterprise has a Custom Format option that enables a wide range of custom display configurations. The following steps outline how to use this option.

1. In a visual's edit mode, on the shelf, click the icon to the right of the field that you are configuring.
2. In the dropdown, click Display Format.

3. In the Enter Display Format modal window,

   • Under Category, select Custom Format.

     Notice that this action adds a Customize Format field.

   • Under Customize Format, specify the formatting mask. Notice the examples at the bottom of the interface.
   • Click Save.

4. Click Refresh Visual.

Note the following examples of common display formats:

• Entering 1s produces decimal format with Roman numerals for unit abbreviation.

  For example, 37,253,956 renders as 37.253956M.

  

• Entering ,.1f produces a format with 1 digit after the decimal, and comma for the thousands separator.

  So, 37,253,956 renders as 37,253,956.0.

  

• Entering ,.2f produces a format with 2 digits after the decimal, and comma for the thousands separator.

  So, 37,253,956 renders as 37,253,956.0.
