Units

You can find the Units list by clicking on the More... menu at the top of the screen.

The Units page lists all of the units in the system used for crop planning and/or for Orders, Harvests, and Packs. Each unit on the units page has many optional and detailed fields, described below.


The Units page will show all of the units added from:

There are two places to add units:
