Reading licence numbers in long zero formats is mentally taxing

Description : 

When large values are shown as long strings of digits it slows comprehension and increases the chance of misreading. Replacing long zeros with readable units like 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for counts and 𝗠𝗕 𝗚𝗕 𝗧𝗕 for data size will make licence pages clearer and faster to use.

 

Why is this feature important to you :
𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀
Teams must validate entitlements at a glance during renewals audits and governance checks. Human eyes scan better with semantic units like 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗚𝗕 𝗧𝗕 rather than counting zeros. This reduces review time supports accurate decisions and improves confidence across stakeholders 📊

 

How would you like the feature to work :

  • Display large counts using compact units 𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 with hover or tap to reveal the exact number
  • Show data size using 𝗠𝗕 𝗚𝗕 𝗧𝗕 and allow switching to bytes when needed
  • Provide a small toggle on the page to choose 𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝘀 or 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘀
  • Maintain consistent formatting across tables cards and summaries for a cohesive experience

 

Current Behaviour :
Today many licence fields show values like 1000000000 or 1048576 which are hard to parse quickly and prone to misread especially under time pressure. The absence of unit formatting and toggles creates friction and slows audits and planning.

Very true, after a few number read, the brain doesn’t register the information and reader is left with “it was a big number”.
