Creating meters

You use the Meters application of the Assets module to add or to modify meter definitions, including the names for the meters and the sets of attributes that describe the meters.

1. On the toolbar for the Meters application, click New Meter.
2. In the Meter field, type a meter name.
3. In the Meter Description field, type a description.
4. In the Meter Type field, specify the type of meter, as follows:

   2. If the meter type is continuous, specify a reading type in the Reading Type field.
5. Complete the other fields as needed, and click Save Meter.
