Measurements & number format

Last verified: 2026-08-21

Under Settings → Configuration → Measurements & number format, the organisation chooses how dimensions and numbers appear — in the artwork list, artwork panel, and PDF.

Order

Dimensions are always written height × width (museum convention), not width × height. In the artwork panel the fields are labelled or have a tooltip (height / width).

Number format

Presets:

Preset Example
German 1.234,5
English 1,234.5
Switzerland 1'234.5
SI 1 234,5
No grouping 1234,5

Applies to artwork dimensions, form number fields (e.g. weight), and PDF output.

Unit (cm / inch)

Display can switch between centimetres and inches. Stored values remain centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm), with up to 4 decimal places.

Decimal places

In the same settings block the organisation chooses 1–4 places for display and input (artwork dimensions, lists, PDF). Trailing zeros are omitted (92.5092.5). CSV import stores up to 4 places regardless of the display setting.

PDF templates should use artwork.dimensionsDisplay or {{formatNumber …}} / {{formatArtworkDimensions artwork}}.

What this does not change

  • Mapping pixel sizes stay pixels.
  • CSV import uses named columns hoehe / breite (still in cm, including decimals such as 92,5).
  • Calendar dates and the datepicker week start are independent — see Date format & calendar week.
