In the "Demand" Alternative, "Customer Meters" tab, there is a column labeled "Demand Distribution (Start) (%)".What does this do? I cannot find anything in Help that describes its purpose or what it does.
Hello Gary,
What you can do with this field will depend on what the customer meter is associated with. If the customer meter is associated with a junction, the Demand Distribution (Start) field will not be editable. This is because all of the demand will be associated with the junction. If the customer meter is associated with a junction, this field can be ignored.
If the customer meter is associated with a pipe using a lateral and tap, you can define how the demand is distributed between two junctions. The default for Demand Distribution (Start) is 50%. You can enter another value and the field for Demand Distribution (Stop) will update automatically.
I have updated this link with information related to this.
Regards,
Scott

Thanks! I believe I understand it now.
If I understand correctly, if a Customer Meter is assigned to a junction then the Demand Distribution filed is meaningless.
Yes that is right. It only apply if the customer meter is associated with a pipe, not a junction.
