FAQs
Q: How do you add a volume measure to serving size in Genesis?
A: Genesis R&D version 11.0 introduces a shortcut to set your Serving Size as a volume.
- With an open Recipe, click the Number of Servings link in the Recipe Information section. This opens the Edit Recipe window.
- Here, click the Edit button in the Serving Size Volume section.
- Assign a volume equivalent.
- Once set, you can go into Edit Label > General > Serving Size to enter the household measure and designate the ‘Serving Size Unit of Measure’ as a volume (ml).
- Genesis will display the proper calculated (ml) equivalent on the label.
Once the volume equivalent is established, you can use volume measures when entering the recipe as a sub-component to a parent recipe.
