How to change the PP units?

Hello,

I was wondering where to change the PP units. I noticed that in one page it is in kg/cm2, however in the report page it is in TSF.

  • Hi Pelelo, it depends where on the log you are still showing TSF as the units. If it is in the column header, you need to open the report entity, select the "Column" tab, and edit what is in the "Column Header Label" field. If it is associated with each PP reading displayed, it may be included in the "Text Expression" under the main tab (something like <<sample.pp>> TSF" , where you just need to edit the TSF to your units. If the Text Expression is a "User System Data" function (something like <<UserSystemData.PP>>), you will need to edit that expression under Data Design>User System Data, and use the yellow drop down box at top to select "PP" or whatever you actually see in the expression on the report log. If you are not familiar with user system data functions, they are simply an expression that is defined there and given a short name, so it can easily be referenced in multiple reports.

  • Does anyone has any input or comments about this issue?, Will it work if i send all the files to a specific person so he can check?

    Thanks

  • Thanks a lot Aparna,

    Please refer to the file attached,

    I followed your directions about the PP units (both ways), however, still the units shown are in TSF (I want them in kg/cm2). See boring logs.

    In report design, i opened the "TEST and NOTES" section (Ensayos y Notas). In the text expression, I understand I need to see something related to PP values or units, but I don;t see anything.

    Please let me know.

  • To change the units in the Input column header you can do it two ways:

    1) In your input table which has the column, right click and go to Field properties.  Change the units from the list available.  This change will only be reflected on the header of the column in your input table.  Also, this change will only be for this project.  

    2) In Data Design under Project Database tab, go to Open File Icon (red arrow on the file) Select either Open project or  Current project or Open Data template.  From the yellow dropdown menu select your table that has PP field.  Change the units from the available.  If you choose Data template option then this change will be reflected in your data template and the future projects that you will create from this template will reflect this change.
