4. You're done! The element should now be moved.

Editing an Element

The second button in the upper right represents the general "Settings" of the calculator. Now we describe which are the main configurations that can be done:

• Color: Adjust the primary theme color.
• Number formatting: Allows you to choose the number format you want according to your country's punctuation.
• Language: Choose the language of the calculator.
• Measurement system: Make a choice between the metric system or the imperial system. This is just to calculate the distance in the Places question in either meters or inches.
• Track external events: Toggle if your tracking codes are installed. (works for Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Amplitude, Mix Pane, and Facebook Pixel).
