Multiple Measurement Types
If you want to allow multiple measurement types in the same formula, set this option to ON. If you only want ONE measurement type in a formula, set this to OFF. This means that if you have a tincture formula and you want to let the user have both ml and oz in the same formula, this setting will be ON. It becomes more important when you have many different types of ingredients in the same formula, such as mixing liquids with solids. Even if you are allowing a user to build a tincture formula in EITHER ml or fluid ounces, this setting will be OFF.
Ingredient Tabs
The ingredient tabs/drop downs appear above the Ingredient Table in the Formula Builder. The settings here control how they look and function. Here is how they look on the formula builder.
Ingredient Field/Attribute Data
The ingredient Field/Attribute Data will show specific data about the Ingredient next to the ingredient name when a user is building a formula. An example is showing the Ingredient Ratio or if the Ingredient is toxic next to the ingredient. You can add many types of data by clicking on Add New, and also specifying the order.
