Wrapping Negative Numbers in Reports


Sigma enables you to wrap the negative numbers, displayed as data sets in your functional reports. A sample screenshot of the report is provided as follows, in which the negative numbers are displayed within the wrapped brackets.

To enable the negative numbers to be displayed within the wrapped brackets for the data sets of your functional reports, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Sigma-amountformats.xml file on the SigmaResources.jar, present in your Sigma Application WAR folder (e.g. D:\Canvas\apache-tomcat-10.0.18\webapps\sigma\WEB-INF\lib\SigmaResources.jar), specify the negative sign position as "WRAP" for the relevant currency format of your choice, e.g. Indian Currency Format, as shown in the following sample code snippet screen shot:

  1. Once you make the appropriate changes to the Sigma-amountformats.xml file, proceed to restart your app server.
  2. Configure the report as per your needs and requirements in Sigma Studio. Note: Only for PDF, HTML and DOCX formats, the negative numbers can be wrapped within the brackets.

  1. Access the Sigma Application and click the Preferences option to select the relevant amount or currency format, e.g. Indian Currency Format.
