Meter and monitoring values can be entered through individual records, in batch or by importing CSV files.
Enter meter values
Meter values can be entered in two ways:
Value Increment: difference between the current reading and the previous reading. It is used in Increment type meters and allows you to enter the value zero;
Meter Reading: current meter reading. It is used in Reading type meters.
To enter a new meter reading, follow these steps:
Go to Assets | Measurements | Meters;
Select the desired meter;
Click on the Operations button and then on Meter Readings;
On the Meter Readings page, click on Create and then on Meter Reading;
Fill in the meter value details in the Reading field;
If desired, add Remarks;
Click on:
Save and New, to save the value and start a new record;
Save, in the arrow next to the Save and New button, to save only the value.
When entering meter values, the following rules apply:
The value entered in the Increment field or in the Reading field can never be greater than the Max. Value defined in the meter;
The meter reading is automatically reset when the maximum value is reached;
You cannot record readings for the same meter and asset at the same second;
When a meter value is deleted, all values of the same meter with a later date are updated, to ensure consistency. The cumulative reading and the average are recalculated.
Enter a replacement meter
To enter a replacement meter, follow these steps:
Go to Assets | Measurements | Meters;
Select the desired meter;
Click on the Operations button and then on Meter Readings;
On the Meter Readings page, click on Create and then on Replace Meter;
Fill in the Reading value of the replacement meter: zero, if the replacement is a new meter, or the meter's current value, if it is a used meter. This value can be lower or higher than the current reading of the old meter, as long as it is equal to or greater than zero;
If desired, add Remarks;
Click on:
Save and New, to save the replacement and start a new record;
Save, in the arrow next to the Save and New button, to save only the replacement.
The replacement date must be later than the last reading. The meter value that corresponds to a replacement:
Keeps the meter's current accumulated reading;
Keeps the meter's current average;
Ensures that the increment is zero, because the replacement is not a new reading, it only resets the current value;
Ensures that the unit cost and the total cost are zero.
Enter monitoring values
To enter a new monitoring reading, follow these steps:
Go to Assets | Measurements | Monitorings;
Select the desired monitoring;
Click on the Operations button and then on Monitoring Values;
On the Monitoring Values page, click on Create;
Fill in the monitoring Value;
If desired, add Remarks;
Click on:
Save and New, to save the value and start a new record;
Save, in the arrow next to the Save and New button, to save only the value.
View readings and values
The list of meter readings and the list of monitoring values allow the maintenance manager to view all readings and values globally, whether or not they come from work orders. To view them, go to:
Assets | Explore | Meter Readings, or search for Meter Readings;
Assets | Explore | Monitoring Values, or search for Monitoring Values.
In both lists, the following rules apply:
They are only available to the administrator role;
By default, only records whose date is in the current quarter are displayed;
The list is sorted in descending date order. To change the sort order, click on the arrow of the Date column;
You can search the list using the search box and choosing the field to search from the drop-down list:
In the list of meter readings: Meter, Description, Asset Type, Asset, Increment, Reading, Cumulative Reading or Unit;
In the list of monitoring values: Monitoring, Description, Asset Type, Asset, Value or Unit.
Readings and values can be recorded through the meter or monitoring record, or through the work order.
