Group managers in Mile Tracker have an option to configure display options for tracking units. For example, you may want your tracking units to be only integer numbers (5 miles, 100 miles, etc.). In this case use 0 in Unit decimals control. For fractional units select the number of decimal places to use (1.25 miles, 1.375 miles, or 1.0075 miles).
Unit decimals control in Group settings Unit decimals in Mile Tracker control defines how many decimal places to use to display fractional units.
Example: Tracking Daily Steps
Consider a situation when we need to track daily steps for health reasons. A count of steps is an integer number. We configure our tracking units label to be Steps and seleect 0 for Unit decimals.
Set unit decimals to 0 to track daily steps
Below is how our data entry page looks like for step tracking. Only whole integer numbers are displayed without fractions, which keeps the user interface simple.
