Items and units

When you create integer or float items, you can specify the base unit and one or more conversion units in which users can enter data. The available units and their conversion calculations are stored in the database. To specify additional units and conversion calculations or to provide locale-specific abbreviations, you must export the units file using the Central Designer Administrator application, edit it, and import the file using the Central Designer Administrator application.

For more information, see Adding units and conversion calculations in the Administrator Guide.
