Token Formatting

You can apply formatting to tokens so that the information that replaces them automatically fits certain characteristics, such as a certain date format, percentage, currency, decimal, number of digits, or other formatting. The token editor helps you insert and test token formatting. The standard for formatting a token is %(token#"expression"#), where "token" is the name of the token and "expression" is a .NET formatting expression.

Example: Sally wants to format the token for the field "Code" to always have four digits. She changes the Code token so it reads %(Code#"D4"#). If 23 is inserted in a token with this format, the result will be 0023.

The types of formatting that can be applied to tokens in a workflow include:

• Numeric Formatting
• Date/Time Formatting
