About units and conversion calculations

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 Oracle Central Designer Administrator application, edit it, and import the file using the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.

After you update and save the file, the next time a user logs on to the Oracle Central Designer application, the new unit definitions are available.
