Readings – Statistics

The Readings – Statistics page is used to enter additional data specific to a utility system for a single billing period, which can then be used for reporting purposes. From here, the user can enter data about a utility in a utility system for a particular billing period. The eligible billing periods are those previously closed and the current billing period; no statistics can be entered for future billing periods from this page.

Since each utility is unique, measures differently, and could have different providers or sources, each utility can have its own set of user-defined fields for statistics. These attributes can be specific to the utility system, the meter sites, and the meters associated with the meter sites. Examples of utility statistics include peak usage date, low usage days, and city fees.

To enter a statistics reading:

1. Access the Utility module by clicking the Utility link at the top of the page.

2. Select the Readings tab.

3. Click the Statistics link to view the Readings-Statistics page.

4. Specify the following criteria to locate the utility system:

   • Utility System – the name of the utility system

   • Billing Period – the billing period

5. Click SUBMIT.

   User-defined fields that are configured for the selected utility appear.

6. Enter values for the user-defined fields.

7. Click UPDATE to commit the statistics reading.
