3.13 Mobile App - As a Technician, how do I enter a Meter Reading?

Updated on

Steps in the screenshots correspond to the numbers in the headings.

The user will have to select a meter. If there is more than one meter associated to the equipment, there will be a drop-down arrow to choose the desired meter to enter a reading.

Choices for the type of reading are ACTUAL and INITIAL.  Actual should be used unless this is a new meter or this is the first time you are entering a reading. If you enter another initial reading, it will assume that a new meter has been entered.  If you enter a lower count, it will assume that the meter has rolled over.

A Reading Date will be required and will default to the current time/day.

Information on the meter will be displayed in the dialog box upon entering a reading and will also be available after the reading in entered under ACTIONS.

All meter readings will be displayed, but only the LAST reading for a meter may be deleted. Once deleted, no more readings for that meter may be deleted until a new reading is added. When a Technician adds a reading, the previous reading is locked and cannot be deleted.  Anyone with access to the Work Module can delete the last reading of a meter.

1. To enter a meter reading, select the METERS icon from the icon screen.

2. Select the blue + icon button.

3. Select the meter (if more than one meter is present, use the drop-down arrow) and click OK.

4. Enter Reading Value.

5. Select Actual or Initial reading type.

6. Enter Reading Date.

7. Enter Comments (optional).

8. Scroll down and select SAVE.

9. A confirmation will appear at the bottom of the screen and the reading will be displayed.

10. To delete the current meter reading, swipe left and select DELETE.

11. Confirm deletion by selecting Yes.
