Meter History

The Meter History tab displays meter history for the equipment unit.

The Meter Update screen supports department-level and location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations in order to make changes or updates.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on equipment ID, serial number, history meter source ID, history from date, and history to date.

To view a recent history of a specific meter source and/or across a specific date range, enter those parameters in the filter. If you do not enter a date range in the filter, the meter history data defaults to the past 30 days.
