How can I customize unit systems and displays in Kiwi Size Chart?
Kiwi Size Chart offers flexible options for managing and customizing unit systems and displays. This guide explains how to enable or disable unit systems, customize unit displays, and troubleshoot common issues.
Introduction
Kiwi Size Chart allows you to display measurements in both metric (e.g., centimeters, kilograms) and imperial (e.g., inches, pounds) units. You can configure these settings to meet your specific needs, such as showing only one unit system, displaying both systems simultaneously, or customizing how units appear in the chart.
Enabling and Disabling Unit Systems
Displaying Both Unit Systems
To display both metric and imperial units in the same chart:
Navigate to Size Chart > Table in the Kiwi Size Chart settings.
Enable both unit systems.
Select either inline cell or inline text instead of the conversion button. For example, if you enter weight in kilograms, it will automatically convert to pounds and display both values inline.
Showing Only Metric Units
To display only metric units (e.g., centimeters, kilograms):
Turn off the alternate unit system in the Kiwi Size Chart settings.
This ensures that only the default metric units are displayed to customers.
Showing Only Imperial Units
To display only imperial units (e.g., inches):
Go to Kiwi’s settings and turn off the following options: - Display both Imperial (US) & Metric unit measurements - Show unit types in table header
This will hide metric units and display only imperial measurements.
Customizing Unit Displays
Keeping Values Consistent Across Units
If you want a column’s value to remain the same regardless of the unit system:
Open the Kiwi Sizing editor.
Set the specific column to No Units.
Columns marked with "No Units" are not converted by the unit toggle, ensuring the value remains identical whether viewed in inches or centimeters.
Displaying Unit Symbols
To show the inch ("”) unit symbol next to measurements:
Go to your size chart settings.
Disable the setting that hides or alters the unit symbol by toggling it OFF.
This will ensure the unit symbol appears next to the measurements.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter issues with unit conversions or displays, ensure the following:
Both unit systems are enabled if you want to display both metric and imperial units.
The correct settings are applied for hiding or showing unit symbols.
Columns that should not be converted are set to No Units.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and customize unit systems and displays in Kiwi Size Chart to suit your needs.
