Units Property Page

 

The units property page of the Database Preferences Dialog lets you set up the style of units that you prefer to work with.  The available options are:

 

Metric

British, and

American

 

Select the style of unit that you prefer to work with.  

 

This setting is used by the Batch Unit Conversion dialog when Resort Chef is changing the ingredient units entered into a recipe to your preferred local units.

 

Deferred Unit Conversions

 

When Resort Chef is calculating costs, it sometimes needs to convert between unknown units.  If the program is unsure of a conversion factor it will launch the Unit Conversion Wizard.   This wizard can appear at any time and can become annoying if you are trying to enter large amounts of data.  By checking the "deferred unit conversions" check box, you can keep working without the annoyance of the wizard constantly launching.

 

NOTE:  At some point in time you will need to correct the unit conversions to gain accurate costs for your recipes.  For more help on this see the topic on Unit conversions.
