<!--[[Image:PrecisionSetting.png|link=]]<br />[[Image:NewNumberFormatting.png|link=]]--><br />===Notes===<br />* The '''Number Format''' setting applies in [[view mode]], or when the values are displayed in a [[Web Page View]], [[Report]], [[MS Word Merge]], [[List View]], etc.<br />* Currency formatting will be applied when the record is in [[edit mode]] only if the setting "Show Currency Format in Edit Mode" is selected in the custom field settings.<br />* Any currency defined by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217 ISO 4217] can be shown by using the appropriate three-letter currency code. For example, if ''Currency-JPY'' (for Japanese Yen) is entered into the Number Format setting, the entered value of '''12''' will be displayed as '''￥12'''.
'''Important''': in [[edit mode]] you must use a period (.) as the decimal, even if the currency defined uses a comma (,).
