By default, the Region settings apply to your entire application. As other components reference these settings, you only need to configure them once and they will auto-populate in all the relevant areas. For example, you could configure the Measurement System to be Metric, and your Scale Bar and Measure tool will both reflect this setting.
Although the Region settings apply to the entire app, they can be overridden by certain components. For example, each layer or field may have individual number format settings.
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Measurement System |
Sets the measurement units of the app to be one of the following: •Locale Default: Determines whether to use metric or imperial units of measurement based on your system's region settings. •Metric: Sets the app to use metric units of measurement. •US Customary: Sets the app to use imperial units of measurement. |
Fallback Language |
Sets the default language to use when no translation exists for the currently selected language. |
Date Format |
Sets the date format to apply to your whole app. You can also set individual settings for specific layers and fields by editing the settings of those layers or fields. The actual date format produced is dependent on your operating system and its own region settings. The default is Date Time Short. |
Number Format |
Sets the format by which numbers should be represented in your app. These settings affect both the formatting and calculation of numeric feature data associated with the map. You can also apply number formats to specific layers or fields by editing the settings of those layers or fields. For more information on number formats, see Standard Numeric Format Strings. The default option is Fixed Point. Select one of the following formats: •Number: A localized representation of a number with a decimal separator, group separator and optional negative sign. For example, in the en-us locale: 12,345.67 or -42. •Fixed Point: A localized representation of a number with a decimal separator and optional negative sign. For example, in the en-us locale: 12345.67 or -42. •Currency: A localized representation of a monetary amount in a specific currency. For example, in the en-us locale: $123.45 for USD or £123.45 for GBP. •Accounting: A localized representation of a monetary amount in a specific currency except negative values are displayed in brackets. For example, in the en-us locale, -$543.21 would be represented as: ($543.21) for USD. •Percent: A localized representation of a percentage. For example, in the en-us locale, 0.99 would be represented as: 99%. •Custom: Use one or more numeric specifiers to define how to format numeric data. For more information, see Microsoft's Custom Numeric Format Strings. |
Currency |
The region format for displaying the currency. |
Decimal Places |
The number of digits to appear after the decimal point in fractions. If you do not set a number, the default applied to currency units depends on the currency. By default, this field is blank. |
Time Zone |
The region you want your app to use to display time. The default setting uses the time zone from your system settings. |
