Measurement Units

Measurement Units are used by Action Plan indicators to express values in a standardized way. By associating a Measurement Unit with an indicator, the system knows how to display the target, actual, and technical impact values of the actions.

Measurement Unit fields

Field	Description
Name	Name of the unit. E.g.: %, kg/ton, R$/ton, ppm
Prefix	If enabled, the unit value is displayed before the number. E.g.: R$ 1.500. If disabled, it is displayed after the number. E.g.: 85%

The Prefix setting is especially important for monetary units, where the convention is to display the symbol before the value (R$ 1.500), and for technical units, where the symbol comes after the number (85%, 76 kg/ton).

Creating and managing Measurement Units

Measurement Units are managed in the module settings area. To access it, the Manage settings profile is required.

Accessing the settings:

1. In the side menu, go to Action Plan Settings.
