When you search for a store name, the Management Center returns a list of stores, matching your search criteria, that you are authorized to work with. When you open a Management Center tool, the store name specified in the Preferences dialog is selected by default if you have the appropriate access rights to manage that store in the selected tool.

If you select a double-byte language, ensure that the correct language is set for non-Unicode programs in your client operating system by selecting Regional and Language Options from the Control Panel. If the correct language is not specified, question mark characters might display in context menus within the Management Center.
Number format Select the number format that you want to use as the default number format. All number formats displayed in the Management Center user interface will use this format. For example, all numeric fields and currency fields are displayed using this number format.
