How to customize date, time, numbers and currency settings in RP Prism 1.14.5

Instead, users will now be able to edit the javascript file for the corresponding language and country located in the C:\ProgramData\RetailPro\Server\WebClient\Locale folder. The file name will be in the format of angular-locale_XX-YY.js where XX is the ISO Language Code and YY is the ISO Country Code.

5. Save the change.

 

6. Clear the Browser cache and re-launch RP Prism. Now the dollar sign $ is no longer displayed.
