Set Up Unit Sets

You set up unit sets to enable users switching between unit set displays or change the unit used on displays. A unit set can contain multiple unit types with preselected units of measure to be used on the screens. On the right-hand side of the screen, users can switch or update unit sets on the Unit Set pane.

Follow the steps below to set up unit sets and assign unit types to them.
