Abbreviation: Only available for editing if Display is set to Yes. Specifies the appearance of the unit. The selections available depend on the length unit selected in the Unit category.
Space: Only available for editing if Display is set to Yes. If set to Yes, a space separates the unit from the value.
Tip for entering units - When you edit unit format settings, you are changing how the units display in views, spreadsheets, and settings. You can, however, enter units by including a character for the type in any of the valid display formats that you see in the format settings. These are converted to the display format for the unit. For example, if the display unit is International foot, you can enter 3m to specify 3 meters. These will be converted to 9,843 ft.
