Configuring Default Financial Application Settings
Most financial calculations require that you define certain general parameters that affect
the results they produce. For example, you need to specify whether you use a 360-day or
365-day year, whether payments are made at the beginning of a period or end of a period,
whether interest is compounded annually or semi-annually, etc.
With the Financial application, you use the Financial Format dialog box to configure default
settings for financial calculations. Use the following procedure to display the Financial Format
dialog box.
S
ClassPad Operation
On the Financial application
menu, tap [Financial Format].

Note that this window has two tabs: Basic and Special. Tap a tab to display its contents
and then configure the settings you want. To configure a setting, tap the down arrow
button next to it and then select the setting you want from the list that appears.
Tip
• The settings you should configure depend on the legal requirements in your area, financial
conventions, your particular needs, etc.
• After configuring your settings, tap [Set] to apply them. Tap [Cancel] to close the window without
changing any settings. Tap [Default] to restore all the settings of the Financial Format dialog box
to their initial defaults.
