Understand Units
Quantity, work rates, and resources are related to units. There are time units and quantity units. Time units are also used to describe durations.
Ways to access
In the Tilos Explorer, expand Library > Other Libraries > Units from the libraries and you will see a list of existing units in the working area.
Working Days/Month - This value is used for cost and resource allocations in the model "Month" or "Cost/month" to convert the input to hours-based costs.
Hours/Working Day - This value is used for cost and resource allocations in the model "Day" or "Cost/day" to convert the input to hours-based costs.
Add, edit, and delete
In the Tilos Explorer, click to expand Library > Other Libraries and double-click Units to see a list of existing units in the working window.
Use the buttons on the right to:
Add Cost Unit - Add a new blank row in the table in which you can define another unit.
Delete Cost Unit - Remove a selected unit row.
Edit Properties - Open the Unit Properties dialog for a selected currency where you can specify/edit the Name, Short name, Working time unit, Calendar time unit, Minutes, and Precision. For details, see the Setting Unit Properties help topic.
