Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

RELATED IDEAS

Currency fields do not take account of users with different locales using the same system

OOTB does not format the amount field and value depending on the user's locale. When an amount is translated to French, the display should replace the decimal with a comma and the currency sign must be appended to the amount value after a space: '0,00 $'.

Currently, OOTB only replaces the decimal with a comma.

When entering the amount into an amount field, the currency sign must be allowed to be prepended or appended depending upon the user's locale.

C�ram only has one property, np, which governs the location of the currency symbol for such fields and does not address the locale specific issue.

1. Login to SPM as admin

2. Create a new internal user 'frenchuser' and set the locale to French / Fran�ais.

3. Create a second new internal user 'englishuser' and set the locale to English / Anglais.

4. Activate the accounts and ensure both users are assigned to an appropriate position and roles, e.g. INTAKEROLE

5. Login to CW as englishuser.

6. Create a new Outcome Plan.

7. From the outcome plan Action menu, select 'New Action...' and select an action from the list that has a cost involved, e.g. 'Increase Wages'.

8. While logged in as a user configured with an English locale, the 'Estimated Cost' field is displayed as '$0.00': https:ecurep.mainz.de.ibm.com/rest/download/89733%2C999%2C649/support_files/English%20estimated%20cost.png

9. Enter a value in this format which is the format expected by the English user, e.g. $12.34. Complete any additional required fields and click 'Next'. No error is returned.

10. Cancel the creation of the action if you wish and logout

11. Login to CW as frenchuser.

12. Again create a new Outcome Plan

13. From the outcome plan Action menu, select 'New Action...' and select the same action as before, e.g. 'Increase Wages'.

14. This time the 'Estimated Cost' field is displayed as '$0,00', with a comma ',' which is correct for the decimal in a French locale. However the currency symbol is before the amount which is incorrect for the French locale: https:ecurep.mainz.de.ibm.com/rest/download/89733%2C999%2C649/support_files/French%20estimated%20cost.png

15. If the user tries to enter a value '12,34 $' which they expect to be able to use, an error will be thrown: "The field 'Estimated Cost' must be a valid money value.". For the end user '12,34 $' is a valid money value. https:ecurep.mainz.de.ibm.com/rest/download/89733%2C999%2C649/support_files/French%20estimated%20cost%20error.png

16. Entering a value of '$12,34' will be accepted in this locale, however this is considered incorrect.
