Setting units of measure

Data > Measurement Units

A dimension is a set of units grouped under one name (eg, a dimension called "distance" could regroup units "mm", "inch" and "meter" and "inch" and "foot", for example )

The principle of creating a dimension and its units includes 3 steps:

Adding a dimension
Adding units in this dimension (at least one)
The definition of conversion ratios with other units.

List of dimensions

All existing dimensions are listed. Units existing in each of these dimensions can be seen by clicking on the icon in front of a dimension.

You can Add a dimension () or Add a unit in the selected dimension ().

A right-click on a dimension in the list allows you to access the Rename Dimension (also possible by double-clicking on the dimension) and Delete Dimension tools .

A right-click on a unit allows you to access Duplicate Unit and Delete Unit tools.

To add a dimension:

Click Add . Fill a name for this new dimension.

To rename a dimension:

Right-click a dimension > Rename Dimension. You can also double-click a dimension to rename it.

To remove a dimension:

Right-click a dimension > Delete Dimension.

Retail units

One unit is defined by a Name (required field), an Abbreviation (required field), a Accuracy (number of decimal places), a Description and a Comment.

On the right, the conversion ratios of the current unit with other units are displayed.

The column unit -> "current unit abbreviation" displays, for each existing units, their conversion value relative to the current unit. This column is editable and you can directly enter the conversion ratio of current unity.
The column "current unit abbreviation" -> unit displays the conversion value of the current unit relative to other units.

Marked N/A indicates that the conversion to the other units was not performed.

To add a unit:
