When adding Product Carbon Footprint (PCFs) data you can adjust units to match you're internal reporting and add additional metrics to increase the accuracy of the PCF.

In this section, you’ll find out:

1. How to customize your measurement units
2. How to add additional metrics for tracking

You will still need to do some conversions, as the settings are frozen for some specific metrics. Head back to Lesson 2 for a refresh on how to do this.

Why setting your measurements correctly matters

Different facilities use different units of measurement. Getting this right from the start helps you:

• Report data accurately in your preferred units
• Avoid conversion errors
• Save time when entering data

Customizing your units 

1. Go to Account settings
2. Select 'Facility resources and units'
3. Find the metric you want to change
4. Use the drop-down menu to select your preferred unit
5. Click save to confirm changes

Important: When changing units, remember to update any existing values to match the new unit of measurement.

Adding your own metrics 

Want to track additional data? Here’s how:

1. Go to account settings
2. Click facility resources and units in the side menu
3. Browse available metrics
4. Check the boxes next to the metrics you want to add
5. Uncheck any irrelevant metrics
6. Click save to confirm changes

A gray ‘R’ next to a metric means it’s required by your customer(s) and cannot be removed.
