Introduction

The Meter Network widget enables you to create a network of cost centers, splitters, meters and areas that reflects the structure of your building. The meter network serves as a foundation for the calculation of the ancillary cost settlement for your tenants.

View mode

In the default mode, the entire network is displayed read-only. If you click on a meter, its latest measurements will be displayed in a chart at the bottom of the screen. If you hold Ctrl will clicking any shape, you can drill down the network and show only the shapes that are connected by a path with the selected shape. All other shapes will be temporarily hidden. Click on Show All in the toolbar at the top right to show the entire network again.
