ClearPoint Setup - Creating Custom Number Formats

- From the Control Panel click on **System Settings** - Select **System Setup** - Click on **Custom Number Formats** under Professional Features

- Click the **Plus icon** to add a custom number format - Under **Number Format Name** enter the name of the new custom format, in this example, ‘4 Decimal Currency’. - Enter a **Currency Symbol** - This would be any symbol your measure uses - not just currency. (e.g., '%') - Select a number of **Decimal Places** between 0 and 8 (inclusive).

- Define the **Currency Position** relative to the number. The Parentheses portion is only relevant if you are using parentheses to indicate negative numbers. - Choose how negative values will be indicated in the **Negative Symbol Position** field. - Determine which symbols will serve as **Separators** and decimals. (e.g., 'No separator, period decimal' would correspond to '100000.00'.)

- Mark the checkbox next to **Negative Values in Red** to have negative values appear in red in your data tables. - A preview of the values will appear in the **Preview field** - Once you are done with your changes, click **Save**
