How to convert SMART-PLS structural coefficients from standardized (correlation) to unstandardized? I need use smartPLS but i also have prediction purpose (coefficients should also act like b-coefficients of regression). How to do this in smartPLS, since all coefficients are standardized?

In SmartPLS, you can get unstandardized path coefficients in the IPMA (importance-performance map analysis) analysis. Follow these steps to run IPMA in SmartPLS (v.3):
First, select IMPA from the 'Calculation' menu

Second, select a dependent variable as the target (SAT in this example)

Third, open the report and click 'Latent Variables' to see the scores

Fourth, by default, you will see standardized scores. Click on 'Unstandardized'

Fifth, you will find what you are looking for here. In this example, the survey response scale was a 1-7 Likert. Therefore, the unstandardized scores are in the range of 1-7.
