Readings Tab

A read-only list of all meter readings taken.

Serviced Locations Tab

Use this Tab to designate the locations served by the Meter such as Facility, Building, and Area. You can allocate the percent used by each location.

Virtual Meter Tab

Virtual Meters are subset of a physical Meter. If a Building has one physical Meter and charges occupants for their share of usage, you can set up Virtual Meters to determine how much each occupant owes. The percentages can be based on square footage of occupancy or some other criteria.

Virtual Meters cannot be transferred. They cannot be part of a parent-child relationship. Essentially, a Virtual Meter is a formula applied to a physical Meter so a Department can be billed.

Utility Ticket Tab

The read-only Utility Ticket Tab reflects any bills you have added to the Utility Ticket window (Organization > Utility > Utility Ticket) that are affiliated with the selected Meter.
