Currency Symbol Use Case

Currency Symbol Use Case

Tip: Community foundation Administrator rights are required to access Control panel features in the application.

In this use case, we want to customize the grant recommendation form to reflect the specified currency setting in Control panel, Site configuration, Options. When you change the currency setting, monetary values throughout DonorCentral — except on the Grant Recommendation form — are automatically updated to reflect the specified currency. This use case explains how to update the recommendation form to also reflect the currency setting.

Note: The currency symbol must be a single, non-numeric character.

1. Select Control panel, Recommendation form.

2. On the Grant form setup page, select Recommendation.

3. In the Grant section, select the Edit icon for the Amount field.

4. In the Text Field Component pop-up, on the Display tab, enter the currency symbol in the Prefix field.

6. On the Grant Form Setup page, in the Recurrence section, select the Edit icon for the Total amount field.
