Properties Reference
The Properties References present a reference that describes and explains the properties for Units Conversion. The table lists all properties available for the configuration item. However, not all properties described in the documentation are displayed in the data grids by default. Right-click column headers to see which property columns are currently displaying. The displayed properties appear with a check mark.
The data grids allow users to manage and organize information by showing or hiding properties in tables within configuration interfaces. Users can view and select properties via column headers, enable multiple selections, add or remove columns, or reset grid settings. These features are available in all configuration interfaces using a table for data management. To turn on or off showing a property on the data grid, right-click column headers to select properties or use the reset button to return to default settings.
