This dialog appears by selecting Databanks } Currencies from the main menu of the application.
From this dialog you may browse and edit the contents of the currencies databank (or at least the portion that is saved in the ‘User’ database).
Since not all of our users purchase from suppliers that deal with US$, you can store in your databank cost-related information (prices for equipment, raw materials, labor rates, etc.) in a currency other than US$. To indicate your choice of currency when viewing the contents of any resource databank click on the ‘Default?’ property next to the currency you wish to be the default. When switching default currency you will be asked if you wish to change every pre-existing cost item in the databank from its previous currency to the new currency. Please note that only one currency must be set as ‘default’. The ‘default’ currency will also be used as the currency of choice when any dialog is presented as part of viewing the contents or editing the contents of any resource databank (e.g. components, mixtures, heat transfer agents, etc.)
