Formatting
Siebel eBusiness Applications support formatting of data, such as dates, time, numbers, and currency, based on locale settings. The Siebel Web Client adopts the locale settings from either the regional settings of the operating system on which the Siebel server is running or the locale settings defined for a particular object manager. The Siebel Mobile Web Client and Siebel Dedicated Web Client adopt the locale settings defined in the client operating system's regional settings.
Examples of different formats based on locales include:
- Date and Time
- 03/10/95 (U.S. format as mm/dd/yy)
- 10.03.95 (German format as dd.mm.yy)
- Number
- 1,234.34 (U.S. format with a comma as digit grouping symbol and a period for the decimal symbol)
- 1 234,34 (French format with a space as the digit grouping symbol and a comma for the decimal symbol)
- 1.234,34 (German format with a period as the digit grouping symbol and a comma for the decimal symbol)
- Phone Number
- +33 1-23 42 34 56 (French phone number as shown in U.S. regional settings)
- (415) 295-5000 (U.S. phone number as shown in U.S. regional settings)
