Display

Set the default number format and yes/no colours for how data is shown across the workspace.

The Display page sets how data is shown by default across the workspace. It lives under Settings, in the Features group: open Settings, then Display under Features. It configures two things: the default number format and the default colours of yes and no values.

Default number format

The Default number format section controls how numbers appear wherever they aren't given their own format:

  • Display format: Number, Percentage, or Custom.
  • Decimal places: how many decimals to show, from 0 to 10.
  • Decimal separator: Period (.) or Comma (,).
  • Thousands separator: Comma (,), Period (.), or None. It can't match the decimal separator.

Until you change it, numbers show as Number with 2 decimal places, a period for decimals and a comma for thousands, for example 1,234.56.

When Display format is Custom, three more fields appear: a Multiplier (for example 100 for a percentage, or 0.001 for thousands), a Prefix (for example $ or EUR), and a Suffix (for example %, k or M). This is how you present currencies or units without a dedicated currency type.

A live Preview shows sample numbers in the format as you change the settings. The fields save together: once you change one, a You have unsaved changes bar appears; click Save changes to apply them, or Discard. If the two separators clash, the save is refused and the field says why.

Display: the workspace's default number format, with a live preview, and its yes and no colours.

This sets the workspace-wide default. An individual number attribute can still override it with its own display configuration; see Attribute types.

Default boolean colors

The Default boolean colors section sets the colour of a yes/no value wherever it shows: Yes for a value that is true, No for one that is false, and None for one that has not been set. Each starts on Default (green, red and grey), and a Preview shows the three in their colours.
