Adding a Locality to your System

|
IMPORTANT:
To apply locality specific formatting to Date and Decimal Fields, it is required to add the corresponding Language before creating the Locality.
|
Step 2 - add a Locality. A Locality is associated with a Language, and user’s Locality will determine which language the system is displayed in, as well as date and number formats
- Log into the Web Application as a user who has the policy of Maintain All Localities
- From the menu, select Admin
Localities All Localities - Create a New Locality, and define the following:
- Name: this usually is either a Country or, in a Country has several Time Zones, an individual State
- Language: it is important that you ONLY select either:
- English (any variation)
- Any of the Languages added through Maintain Languages in the previous step
- Time Zone: select the correct time zone. This will influence the Date and Time for defaulted Fields, so that NOW will be the LOCAL time of the users
- Save your changes, this will update other fields on this form
- Perform a Publish, and restart Tomcat
