# Units

The **Units** section is the place to manage the measurement units that you use for the products in your store.

In the Emporix Management Dashboard, you can add, customize, or remove measurement units for volume, length, quantity, and mass.

## Creating a unit

1. Go to **Settings** -> **Units** and choose **Add new unit**.
2. Fill in the information about the unit and choose **Save** when you're done.
   * **type**: choose what you're going to measure with the unit
   * **base unit**: decide whether the unit is a base one
   * **factor**: provide a conversion ratio for the unit to change it to another unit set

Now, you can add the unit to a price model (**Pricing** -> **Price Models**), which you can then apply to your products. To learn how to link a price model with products, see [Price Models](/ce/management-dashboard/pricing/price-models.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.emporix.io/ce/management-dashboard/settings/units.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
