The Regional Options area displays all the regional settings currently supported by PPM. When a user logs into the application, it checks the default regional settings of the user's operating system. If the computer's default locale is supported, the PPM user interface automatically uses the regional settings (date and figure formats) for that locale. If the computer's locale is not yet supported, PPM automatically uses English (United States) regional settings.
To edit the Regional Options Settings:
- Select your locale from the Supported Locales table.
- Click Edit to open the Regional Options dialog box for the selected locale.
- Set the following regional options:
- Decimal symbol: select the separator used in your company.
- Digit grouping symbol: select the digit grouping symbol used in your company.
- Long date format: select the format used in your company for displaying long dates.
- Short date format: select the format used in your company for displaying short dates.
- Date separator: select the separator used to separate figures in the short date format
- Click Restore Defaults to restore the default regional settings or click OK to save the edited regional settings and close the Regional Options dialog box.
