# 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](https://developer.emporix.io/ce/management-dashboard/pricing/price-models).
