Can I control the decimal places in reward letters?

Using Placeholders

Reward letters use placeholders to automatically pull data fields from the workbook. You can find these placeholders in the Cycle's Settings page > Reward Letter Templates tab > Placeholders linked text.

Formatting Decimal, Currency, or Percent Fields

When the field you want to pull is a decimal, currency, or percent, the placeholder includes a formatting option:

Here’s how it works:

• number_format(2) → Displays 2 decimal places

• number_format(0) → Displays no decimal places

• number_format(4) → Displays 4 decimal places

Adjust the number inside the parentheses to control how many decimal places appear in the reward letter. 

Examples

• Salary with two decimals: current_salary | number_format(2) → 50,000.00

   

• Salary with no decimals: current_salary | number_format(0)→ 50,000

   

• Percentage with four decimals: bonus_percent | number_format(4)→ 12.3456%

Key Notes

• Use number_format(n) to control decimal precision.

• Replace n with the number of decimal places you want.

• This applies to any decimal, currency, or percent field in your reward letters.
