Format Options in PULSE Dashboard

Numeric columns in PULSE Dashboard can be formatted to include the number of decimal places shown, percent signs and currency values. This can be for existing columns listed in the Column Chooser or new columns created by using a custom formula. This can be setup by any User in PULSE Dashboard.

In the Column Chooser any numeric or currency value column may be displayed as a currency value, a numeric value or as a percentage. Date values may also have an alternate format if needed. Each of these may also be formatted to use the maximum decimal places as defined by Macola® in the database.

Format Option Examples
