Adding % symbol to calculated measure in ad hoc editor

Problem:

You have created a calculated measure that calculates the percentage. You want to add % symbol to the display value.

Solution:

To achieve this we will need a custom ad hoc mask. To add new masks to the list of ad hoc data formats please do the following:

1. Go to {JRS WAR file}/WEB-INF/bundles

2. Edit adhoc_masks.properties

3. Add new masks to int and decimal like this:

   ADH_100_MASK_int_4 = #%
   ADH_100_MASK_dec_5 = #%

4. Restart server

Now in ad hoc editor we will be able to right click on the field in canvas, Change Data Format and select the format we just added with the percent symbol.
