Inches and Fractions - Admin Setup

The Inches and Fractions feature makes it possible to use inches instead of centimeters or millimeters both in the style Size Chart, and Sample Requests and Item Units

Introduction & best practice

In some regions, size charts are written in inches instead of centimeters or millimeters. Enable this option in Delogue and make it possible to convert a Size Chart from centimeters to inches and vice versa when working. Also, create item units that can be written as fractions - for example, 1/4 - instead of numeric values.

NOTE: all new Size Charts will now, by default, be created using inches as the unit.
But you can still change the unit to centimeters or millimeters on style level

What happens where?

The choices you have made will now affect the work in the following areas:

Sizes

  • New Size Charts on Style level will now, by default, be created with inches as the unit. But you can easily change it to centimeters or millimeters if you prefer that
  • Also grading steps + deviation will be in inches
  • If 'Shown as fraction' has been chosen you now have the option to see size measurements, grading steps, and deviation in fractions (example: 2 1/2) instead of numeric values (example: 2,5)

Sample Requests

  • Size measurements in sample requests will be shown in the same way as chosen in the Size Chart of the style

Units

  • Wherever a unit can be added, you can now choose to write the value as a fraction (example:1 1/2, instead of 1,5)
  • Places where units can be written as fractions are: Item header, item default QTY, Item quality details, item custom report (and its exports), Style item list QTY, Style and item prints, Style Excel Export

NOTE: You can change the unit (for example, from cm to inch with fractions), but the value will not be converted, only the unit name will change.

Example: If the unit of an item quantity is 10,50 cm and you change it to inch with fractions, it will simply display the quantity as 10 1/2 inch without adjusting the measurement.

Be sure to manually convert the value if needed.
