Changing the Default Currency

---

You can change the default currency displayed in the Siebel Answers user interface, for example, from French Francs to Euros.

If you are using Siebel Analytics applications, with no customizations, you only need to set the default data warehouse currency.

If you have created additional subject areas, the currency column data will be in the number format and you will need to make the changes described in the second procedure.

For more information about using formatting functions in Siebel Answers, see Siebel Analytics User Guide.

To set the default data warehouse currency

Open the currencies.xml file.
Search for the currency that you want to make the default.
Copy the entire currency element.

For example, copy the currency tag for the Euro:

</Currency>

- <Currency tag="int:euro-l" type="international" symbol="_" displayMessage="kmsgCurrencyEuroLeft" digits="2" format="$ #">

<negative tag="minus" format="-$ #" />

</Currency>

Search for the text string int:wrhs, located towards the top of the file.
Select the entire element and replace it by pasting the copied element over it.
Replace the tag attribute so it reads int:wrhs.

For example, replace tag="int:euro-l" with tag="int:wrhs".

Stop and start the World Wide Web Publishing Service.

To specify the currency for customized subject areas

Display the request that uses the subject area in the criteria page.
Click the Format Column icon for the currency column.
If necessary, clear the Use Default Data Format check box.
In the Treat Numbers As drop-down list, select Currency.
In the Currency Symbol drop-down list, select the currency.
In the Use these Settings drop-down list, select: as the system-wide default for this data type.
Repeat the process for any other columns.
