Field Value Conversion

The Field value conversion node is used to define how units of measurement is converted. You can create different Field conversion groups e.g. a Weight group to convert values to imperial units and SI units.

You can apply the field-value-conversion to all standard and custom decimal fields via the field settings.

To create a new field conversion group:

1. Click New field conversion group
2. Provide a Name and System name
3. Click Save and close

To create a new field value conversion:

1. Go to your newly created field conversion group
2. Click on New field value conversion
3. Provide a Symbol, System name
4. Define a Factor to decide the relation between the different units e.g. if base unit is 1 kilogram (kg), the factor of a field value conversion for pound (lb) would be 0,454 lbs
5. Click Save and close

The first created field value conversion in a group is automatically the base unit for other field value conversions. To choose a different base unit, use the context menu of the desired base unit-field and select Set as base unit.
