Step 2: Units
The Units step defines the storage unit sizes your calculator can recommend. The calculator compares the volume of the visitor’s items against these sizes to pick the best fit.
Dimensions use the measurement system chosen on the Options step: metres and kilograms for Metric, feet and pounds for Imperial.
Default units
Section titled “Default units”A new calculator starts with four units. You can edit, delete or replace them.
| Name | Metric (m) | Imperial (ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 2 × 2 × 3 | 6.56 × 6.56 × 9.84 |
| Medium | 3 × 3 × 3 | 9.84 × 9.84 × 9.84 |
| Large | 4 × 4 × 3 | 13.12 × 13.12 × 9.84 |
| Extra Large | 5 × 5 × 3 | 16.4 × 16.4 × 9.84 |
Dimensions are width × depth × height.
Recommendation settings
Section titled “Recommendation settings”The box at the top of the step controls how the calculator chooses units.
Allow multiple units per recommendation. On by default. When on, a recommendation may include more than one unit. When off, the calculator always recommends a single unit and a Unit selection heuristic dropdown appears with the rule used to pick that one unit when several sizes could work: Most volume (the default), Smallest unit or Largest unit.
Recommend multiple unit sizes? Appears once you have three or more units. When on, the calculator may suggest a combination of different sizes, such as one Large and one Small, instead of several of the same size. A Number of units dropdown then sets the maximum number of units in a recommendation. The maximum is one less than the number of units you have defined.
Adding a unit
Section titled “Adding a unit”Click Add Unit and fill in the form.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Unit Name | Yes | Up to 100 characters, for example “5×5 Unit” |
| Subheader | No | A short line shown under the name, for example “Great for a studio apartment” |
| Additional info | No | An extra line shown under the unit dimensions, for example “Ground floor access” |
| Width, Depth, Height | Yes | Numbers greater than 0, in the current measurement system |
| Weight Limit | No | Maximum weight the unit can hold. Leave empty or 0 for no limit. |
| Reserve URL | No | A full URL including https://. When set, visitors who click the call to action for this unit go here instead of the main CTA URL. |
Click Add Unit in the form to save it. Use the gear icon on a unit in the list to edit it and the bin icon to delete it. Deleting asks for confirmation.
Importing units from a CSV file
Section titled “Importing units from a CSV file”Click Download template to get a CSV file with the expected columns, fill it in, then click Import CSV and choose the file. Imported units are added after the units you already have.
The columns are:
unitName,subheader,additional,unitWidth,unitDepth,unitHeight,weightLimit,reserveUrlunitName,unitWidth,unitDepthandunitHeightare required. The dimensions must be numbers.weightLimitis optional. Empty means no limit.reserveUrlis optional. If present it must be a full URL includinghttps://.- The first row must be the header row exactly as in the template.
Rows with problems are skipped and listed under the import summary with the row number, the column and the reason. Fix those rows and import them again, removing the rows that already succeeded so they are not added twice.
Resetting to the defaults
Section titled “Resetting to the defaults”The circular arrow button at the top right replaces all units with the default set for your measurement system. A confirmation dialog appears first. After a reset, an undo button appears next to it that restores the units you had before the first reset. The undo stays available until you use it or close the builder.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”Press Next to save the units and move to Categories. Each unit was already checked when you added it, so Next does not normally fail here. The Confirm step requires at least one unit before you can publish.
