CHAPTER 1: International Formats
International Numeric Data Settings
MOSAIQ User’s Guide
MOSAIQ supports international numeric formats based on local Windows settings. For
example, in many countries, the comma is the decimal symbol (e.g., 4,50) and the dot is the
digit grouping symbol (e.g., 4.500). You configure the region/country settings from the
Regional Settings on the Windows Control Panel for your workstation. In MOSAIQ, you can
enforce consistency across all workstations through an option in Department Setup.
MOSAIQ:
Crystal Reports that come with MOSAIQ do not support international
numeric formats at this time, but you can customize Crystal Reports to
show international numeric formats.
For more information on how to configure international numeric
settings in MOSAIQ, refer to the Configuring Department Setup section
on page 11.
Shows numeric data in accordance with the workstation Windows settings.
(Imported Lab Results are an exception. They appear in the same format that they
are received from the sending Lab Information System.)
Does not let you enter numeric data in a different format.
Maps the Decimal key on the numeric keypad to always enter the decimal character
as configured in the Windows regional settings.
If configured, MOSAIQ:
Prompts you to change the Windows regional settings to the MOSAIQ configured
format (if they are not the same).
Does not start if the Windows regional settings and MOSAIQ settings are not the
same.
WARNING
We do NOT recommend that you override this restriction. But, if
a workstation cannot operate with this restriction, you can
override it. If you do override this restriction, make sure users
know that numeric data can appear differently on their
workstations as compared to other workstations. Refer to
Overriding the Numeric Data Setting on page 13 for more
information.
