Universal Interface for BAS - WebTMA 5

The Universal Interface for Building Automation System (BAS) bundles two types of BAS records. These are:

• BAS – Meter Import
• BAS – Alert Import

BAS – Meter Import

Path: Admin > Universal Interface > Universal Interface Setup

BAS – Meter Import is part of the Universal Interface BAS bundle. After you configure the Client Service Installation, the Universal Interface Setup window must be completed.

When you select the Transaction Type, WebTMA automatically loads the required fields in the mapping grid. These lines display a red sphere in the left column until the row is mapped to the remote columns in the third-party database.

WebTMA filters the column field selection to prevent duplicate selection. For example, Meter Tag and New Reading are not available for selection when you click the Add Column link because they are already selected. Reminder: The lines that auto-populate the grid are required. Please do not delete these lines.

Remember to add at least one Repair Center to the Repair Center Tab.

How to Link Fields for BAS Meter Import

In order to import your BAS Meter files, you must link WebTMA fields with fields within your Universal Interface table. By default, all required fields should already have line entries. Edit those records and then add elective fields.

From your Universal Interface Setup window in Add/Edit mode:

1. Complete the Required Setup fields described below.
2. Click the Add Column link on the grid to open the Column Mapping popup window.
3. Choose your WebTMA Column.
4. Select the Remote Column.
5. Click Save & Add (or Save & Close).
6. Repeat until all fields in your Universal Interface table have been matched up.
7. Add the applicable Repair Center(s) to the Repair Center
8. Click Save on the WebTMA toolbar.
