How to define number format for Background Element?

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Profile

1. Download the Data Model
   
   
2. Copy the following code in the Data Model above Standard-Element Section/Portion
   
   Sample format: #.00 -> This format will show 2 decimal places data.
   Sample ID: nData
   Standard Code:
   
   <field-display-format id="nData">
   <display-pattern>#.00</display-pattern>
   </field-display-format>
   
   Note: We can also declare a separate format for other locals.
   
   Sample: <display-pattern local="en_GB">#.00</display-pattern>
   
   
3. Put the following code in Data Field of the Background Element.
   
   Code: <field-display-format-ref refid="<put id here>"/>
   Sample:
   
   <data-field id="salary" field-name="ffld1" max-length="999" max-file-size-KB="1000">
   <label>Test Salary</label>
   <label xml:lang="en-GB">Test Salary</label>
   <field-display-format-ref refid="nData"/>
   </data-field>
   </background-element>

Note that this configuration only works with ffld (rounding off is aplicable) and ifld (ignores decimal digit and rounding off values) fields.
