To enhance order accuracy and efficiency, Yojee now allows users to set **default dimensions (DIMS), weight, and volume** for item types. This eliminates the need for manual input and ensures **consistency** when creating orders. By predefining values such as **length, width, height, weight, and volume**, users can quickly generate **accurate order instructions** with minimal effort. --- ### **1.
