Number | Select the "Number" result type if you have selected a measurement type that is to be answered with a numerical value. (e.g. "Volume", "Height" or "Serial number") |
Date | Select the "Date" result type if you have selected a measurement type that is to be answered by specifying a date. (e.g. "Execution") |
The unit of measurement determines the unit with which the result type is saved. In the example below, the measurement type "Weight" and the result type "Number" have been selected. The result is saved in kilograms according to the information in the check.
