Adding input conversion tables
To add conversion tables for units of measurement. For example, in order to enable the conversion from square meters into square feet or from liters into gallons. International organizations can use the selected
input conversion table to be able to display converted figures in sustainability dashboards. For example, if the US office registers fuel consumption in gallons and your European office in liters, you will also be able to show the organization’s totals in either liters or gallons in the dashboards.
