Setting your preferred regional settings for creating apps and scripts in Qlik Cloud Analytics
You can set the default regional settings for the apps and scripts you create. Regional settings include formatting for money, dates, and decimals as well as the localization of names of days and months. You can view and edit your app regional settings in Data load editor. For information on editing these settings, see Modifying regional settings for apps and scripts. Regional settings do not change the language for users accessing the app or script aside from the settings that are localized to the selected region, such as day names.
If you do not set a preferred regional setting, your apps and scripts will use English (United States).
Do the following:
-
Click your profile and select Profile settings.
-
Under Regional settings for creating apps and scripts, select your preferred region.
Setting the app reading order in Qlik Cloud Analytics
The default reading order in a Qlik Sense app is left to right. You can change the reading order to right-to-left in your app preferences, for example, if your data or labels are in a right-to-left language such as Arabic or Hebrew. For more information, see Right-to-left reading order in apps.
