Rounding modes in Fixed Mark Template items

About Rounding Mode

When defining items in Fixed Mark Template you can define the Rounding Mode which is used for the mark item calculation. Rounding mode specifies a rounding behavior for numerical operations capable of discarding precision. Each rounding mode indicates how the least significant returned digit of a rounded result is to be calculated.
