myCurrency Admin
The myCurrency
function builds a daily table of world currencies researched from major
currency translation providers. A
selection of currency translations can be chosen by an admin user for
inclusion on the Home Page. The
list can be customised by visitors to the Home Page if allowed in the
admin settings.
There is a default set of 20 currencies (Australian
Dollar (AUD), British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Chinese Yuan
(CNY), Czech Koruna (CZK), Danish Krone (DKK), Euro (EUR), Hong Kong Dollar
(HKD), Japanese Yen (JPY), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Norwegian Krone (NOK),
Russian Rouble (RUB), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Slovak Doruna (SKK), Swedish
Krona (SEK), Swiss Franc (CHF), Turkish Lira (TRL), Taiwan Dollar (TWD),
U.S. Dollar (USD), Hungarian Forint (HUF)),
but this list can be tailored to specific company requirements if advised
before installation. The
currency table built by myCurrency maintains a history which can also
be used as a reference source for completing or checking expense claims.
Setting the default myCurrency display
As a logged-in admin user,
click the Home Page Admin link
from the Home Page, and choose the myCurrency
Admin option. (Note: if the name of myCurrency has
been changed in the function admin settings, the Admin menu will display
the modified name.)
Output
this function to users' browsers can be turned on and off.
The "Can
user edit" option can be set to give or deny an ordinary user
from changing the default exchange rates to their individual preferences
for their view of the Home Page.
The "Edit
number" option allows the maximum number of exchange rates
that can be defined by an ordinary user. This
should be set a value which does not allow the user to exceed the space
available (as determined by style sheet settings).
The "Name"
of the function (default being myCurrency)
can be changed. The
name entered here will be used on the Admin
menu and on the standard user's Preferences
to refer to the myCurrency function.
A column of icons down the
right-hand side of the page allow you to add, delete, edit or re-order
exchange rates. (Bear
in mind that the effect of your changes may vary according to your stylesheet
settings.)
Adding
an exchange rate: Click the 
icon to add a currency.
A pop-up
window will ask you to select the currency you want to convert from
and to.
Deleting
an exchange rate: Click the currency conversion in your list which
you want to delete, and then click the 
icon. You
will be asked to confirm the deletion by clicking OK.
Editing
an exchange rate: Click the currency conversion in your list which
you want to delete, and then click the icon. You
will be asked to confirm the deletion by clicking OK.
Re-ordering
exchange rates: Click on a currency in your list which you want
to reorder, and click the 
or 
icon to move
it up or down your list.
Exchange rates can be previewed before committing any changes
you have made.
To confirm any changes you
have made, click Update. (Clicking
the Home Page or Home
Page Admin links will also confirm your changes.) To
cancel any changes you have made since the last update, click the Cancel Changes link.
