Unit Conversion

SIERA now has a unit conversion system integrated into it. This feature allows you to switch between metric and imperial units easily. No matter which system you are used to, SIERA ensures that everyone can work together and understand data no matter where they are located. We aim to keep communication and productivity at the highest level, regardless of what you are.

This feature is not just limited to SIERA users. Adjust the exported unit type for clients, making generating reports in a different unit system seamless.

Usage

You can access these options through the 'Units' sub-menu under the settings tab on the right-hand side.

As mentioned above, this action alters the unit displayed on the SIERA platform and affects the exported data. If you work with one measurement while requiring the exported report to be in the other unit, remember to revert accordingly.
