# Defining a custom unit of measure

Defining a custom unit of measure helps the goal users to set the unit of measure for targets as per their choice. Unit of measures are two types, quantitative and qualitative.

By default, the available unit of measures for quantitative targets are **\#**, **$**, **%**, **Days**. By default, the available unit of measure for qualitative targets is **Yes/No**.

As an administrator, you must create custom unit of measures so that the goal user can use them for setting a unit of measure for their targets:

-   For quantitative targets, you can define a custom unit of measures from the Unit \[sn\_gf\_unit\] table.
-   For qualitative targets, you must first create a choice set and then create a choice list for the choice set.
