Q11052 - INFO: Units Setup

Used to setup the list of units.  The list is used to assign units to a variable.  See Edit/View Variables.  NOTE:  Depending on the Standard Variable Name Mode in Facility Setup, this list can either be a helper list (i.e. I can pick from the list or enter a unit not on the list) or a list of valid values that the user MUST pick from. 

FIELDS:

Units - The unit of measure.  This is the value that is used to populate the variable's units in Edit/View Variables

Description - Describes the unit.

Quantity Type - A grouping for the units.  Example, VolumeFlow is the Quantity Type for all the flow per time units (mgd, gal/hr, m³/hr...) where as Volume is the Quantity Type for all the total flow units (gallons, liters...).

Display Flag - If set to N will hide the unit from the Edit/View Variables unit list.

Rio GUID - The Guid that Rio uses to uniquely identify the unit.

BUTTONS:

Deletes the current record from the list.
