Updates to Bill Validation Dashboard

Improvements and issues fixed

Component	Summary	Reference #
Calendar and Schedule Setup	We added device type information for creating/updating setpoints for equipment type calendars. This helps ensure you are associating costs with the correct component.	VXOB-5745
Controllers	Controller descriptions and attributes now properly update in EAM when the device is updated. If the attribute is not populated, both values update. If there is no configured attribute, only the controller description updates.	VXOB-6029
Derived Calculations	The parenthesis feature in derived calculations is now fully implemented, allowing you to create group functions that require calculations within other calculations.	VXOB-5904
Derived Calculations	When you set a monthly frequency for a derived calculation, you now set the Time Frame and Offset in months rather than days.	VXOB-5755
Energy Dashboards	We changed the labels Active Consumption and Actual Consumption to Meter Usage and Bill Usage, respectively, to clarify the data represented.	VXOB-6112
Energy Dashboards	We added a scroll bar to the Bill Validation, Budget, and Balance dashboards to make viewing data easier. Columns stay fixed at the top of the page as you scroll down.	VXOB-6117
Energy Dashboards	The Energy Comparison tile now pulls data based on the level selected (HQ, parent, region, site, and so on), as intended.	VXOB-5725
Energy Dashboard Meters	We updated the pie chart in the Consumption Overview dashboard so you can more easily read and understand the data represented.	VXOB-6113
Flagged Conditions	We added a Site Layout button on the Flagged System Condition Detail page so you can view the site layout where the flagged condition raised the issue.	VXOB-5835
Mobile, Flagged Conditions	You can now update reset CPT and warn/prevent closure functionality for flagged conditions in the Mobile Dashboard.	VXOB-6115
Sites, Energy Star Integration	You must now select a state from a menu (rather than typing in the state name) when creating a new site located in the United States. This ensures U.S. states are in the proper format for mapping sites to Energy Star.	VXOB-5925
Smart Tables	We updated 12 pages to the new smart table, mostly in the Site List area.
