Overview
The process for updating the Unit of Measure has changed.
Previously, it was located under Project Information in Project Settings.
Now, it is found under Project Site Addresses.
Additionally, Project size is now tracked per Project Site Address to allow more granular data capture.
This article explains how to access and update:
Gross Area, Rentable Area, and Usable Area.
How to handle different Unit of Measure types.

1. Accessing Unit of Measure Settings
Select the Project from the Project List.
In the left-hand project menu, click Project Settings.
