| - | + | Metis Smart Suite enables the use of quantity units which are then used for example in product attributes. Quantity units can be added, deleted, and edited. Quantity units are used to give a more specific meaning when counting or measuring a certain unit such as time, weight and size. The quantity units for these measurements could be hours, kilograms or centimeters for example. | |
| + | |||
| + | Quantity units are used when defining attributes. An attribute could be defined as "Service Hours" and the quantity unit defined alongside it would be "Hours." Further information regarding the use of quantity unit and attributes can be found on the attributes main page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Quantity units can also be associated to positions. When either creating a new or editing an existing position, the user can choose to select a quantity unit to associate with the position from the drop-down list. | ||
