Windows regional settings affecting the Jazzit templates (rounding, date presentation)
 
Correct Windows regional settings ensures that the Jazzit templates appear and function correctly. Incorrect regional settings may cause issues with:
 
  • Rounding - If the regional settings are not set correctly, it may cause the rounding to continually be in a recalculate position.
  • Date presentation - The date in Jazzit letters will looks different than what is expected. Typically, the date is presented as month, day, and year (ex: September 30, 2017), however the date may appear differently (ex: September-30-17)
  • Negative values - Negative numbers can be displayed in brackets or using a dash symbol. For example "$(50.00)" or "$-50.00". The default presentation for Jazzit templates is with brackets "$(50.00)".
