## Separators

The separators configuration is divided into decimal separators, thousands separators, group separators, and is used in the ACRON Reporter and in reports.

* Decimal separator

  The standard national decimal separator is a comma. A point may also be selected as the decimal separator.
* Thousands separator

  The standard national thousands separator is a point. A comma or apostrophe may also be selected as the thousands separator.
* Group separator

  The group separator is used in the reports to display the full group path in a text or table field.

  Example: "Hauptgruppe / Untergruppe1"

Note

If you want to change group separator characters in vertical reports at a later time, you can only do it in the Form Designer/ 'Table properties' dialog/ Group status/ Header.

Standard time/Summer time can be indicated by up to 5 characters of any kind.

Note

The identifier is only made visible in the diagram if seconds are displayed.
