Overview

Figure 1 - Template Excel file containing the customer meter information that can be imported to WaterSight.
Meters information should come (at least customer meters ID and geolocation), whenever possible, from the commercial system, to assure that the most up to date information is imported into WaterSight. Information about billings (Customers Billing, inside the administration menu) together with meters geolocation (coordinates or zone) is used to compute the revenue of each zone, used in the water balance diagram. Customer meters fields such as Name, Address, Customer type, Is Critical are also used in the Operational events runs.
Upload and Delete
Use the delete button located on the top of the table to delete the current meters file.
Use the upload button located on the top of the table to upload a new meters file. 
After the first upload, the user can continue to update the meters file by directing upload new a new file. Please note that in case a file was already uploaded before, the upload of a new file will add the new meters to the system and update the existent ones (if a meter already existed before and it is not contained in the new file, it will be kept and not deleted). If the user wants to overwrite/replace all the old meters by the new meters contained in the new file, he first needs to delete the current meters before uploading the new file.
