BrandMentions lets you customize how numbers are displayed so they match your local formatting style. This is useful if you work with international teams or share reports with stakeholders in different regions.
For example:
Some regions use 1,234.56 (comma for thousands, period for decimals).
Other regions use 1.234,56 (period for thousands, comma for decimals).
By adjusting your number format settings, you can make your reports easier to read and understand for your audience.
