Display Patterns
A display pattern allows you to assign a format to numeric values, for example, to a computed expression used in a chart. Display patterns quantify numeric values, for example, a display pattern for currency may display as $#,###. The Windchill RV&S client automatically detects your locale displaying the relevant symbol, decimal, and grouping separator in the Display Pattern list in addition to other sample display patterns.
Key Considerations
• For items, Windchill RV&S stores the integer field as an unformatted numeric value in the database. Query filters, rules, and trigger assignments display the unformatted, localized version of the numeric field value.
• If the display pattern is invalid, an error message displays. If no display pattern is specified, the field displays the value in a localized form.
