The default weight groups are 0-9.9 MT, 10-19.9 MT, 20-29.9 MT and 30-39.9 MT. MT means metric tons. The 2D picture above shows only 0-9.9 MT and 10-19.9 MT in its legend.

  1. In the Function Menu, click Manage Facility (1 in the picture). It is the first option under your facility name.
  2. Click Custom Weight Groups (2 in the picture). The Custom Weight Groups table opens.

  2. Click Update Settings.
