Currency information, by default, is derived from the client PC’s regional settings.
However, there are cases where systems are required to operate with different
currencies. To facilitate this, OTM allows you to define currency settings for any system
as required. In addition, you can configure default settings from the OTM Navigator
main window, which can also be used by the OTM systems. These default settings are
used by any system that does not have its own settings defined. This is useful in an
installation where the majority of systems are operating in a common currency and only
a few are operating in a different currency. In this case, you can set the default currency
settings for the majority of the systems, and you only need to configure the exceptions.
To define the local currency, select Configuration > OTM Regional Settings in either
the OTM Navigator window or the system window. Select from the following options:
Use System Setting (Navigator level only): Select this check box to have OTM use the
currency settings defined in the client PC’s Windows Regional Settings. Notice that the
remaining fields are updated with the Windows Regional Settings currency information
and appear grayed (read-only). You cannot edit these fields if you select this option.
Since this option is available only at the Navigator level, you can only select this option
for the Navigator main window. By default, this option is enabled (the check box is
selected).
Use Default Setting (System level only): Select this check box to have the system use
the default currency settings that you defined in the Navigator window. Notice that the
remaining fields are updated with this default (or shared) currency information and
appear grayed (read-only). You cannot edit these fields if you select this option. This
option is available only from a system window.
Enter the local currency values in the following fields:
Currency Name: In this field, enter a descriptive name of this currency (for example,
US Dollars).
Appearance Samples: These read-only fields display samples of the costs based on the
selected currency settings (for example, $123,456.78 and ($123,456.78)).
Currency Symbol: In this field, enter the symbol for this currency (for example, $). The
symbol appears next to the cost values on report summaries. If your keyboard does not
support the currency symbol that you want to use, then you may need to enter it using
alternate key codes. For example, to enter the symbol for the Euro dollar, press and hold
the [Alt] key and enter 0128 on your numeric keypad. The Euro dollar symbol appears.
If a black square appears instead of the symbol, then your system font does not support
this character. It should, however, still appear correctly on the printed report.
