GUI Language

The PlanogramBuilder Language lets you change the language for all the elements of the user interface, such as commands and buttons.

1. Click on Settings.

2. In Settings affecting the current user only, below Regional Settings, next to Language, select your preferred language from the list.

Note: Currently, German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Portuguese, Bulgarian and Russian are available. If you wish to have the interface translated to another language, contact us at planogrambuilder@zvisuel.com

Note about this User Guide language: The PlanogramBuilder documentation is published online in English only, however if you set the user interface to a different language, this user guide will be automatically displayed in that language using Google translation for your convenience. Beware that the names of commands and other interface elements may differ in the automated translation from those in the user interface. In case of doubt always consider the names displayed in the user interface as references.

Measurement unit

Each user can select in which Measurement unit dimensions are displayed for products and shelving items. You can choose mm, cm or inch. The inch unit is displayed in decimal inches. The default unit is cm.

1. Click on Settings.

2. In Settings affecting the current user only, Below Regional Settings, next to Measurement unit, click on the radio button corresponding to your preferred measurement unit.

Note to PlanogramBuilder Administrators:

The selected Measurement unit is also used when you create, edit or export products with Database Editor (see Database Item Properties: width, depth and height).

The selected Measurement unit will also be used by default to batch import products, but you can override the selected unit. Please see Batch Import Database Items for further explanations.
