Organize meters with meter groups

Watch the full walkthrough

Open the Meters tab to load all addresses on the map

  • Click the Meters tab on the left side of the screen.
  • This loads the map and centers all available addresses in view.
  • From here, you can create meter groups using either:
    • Individual address selection, or
    • Map selection tools.

Create a group from a single meter/address

  • Zoom into the area you want to work in.
  • Hover over a meter icon to bring it to the top of the list.
  • Select the meter by clicking its GPS pin.
  • Open the Edit Location tab.
  • Choose to create a new group or add the meter to an existing one.
  • Enter a group name and save it.
  • The selected meter will now appear in the new group.

Add more meters to the group manually

  • Go to the Groups section and open the group you just created.
  • Use the manual add option to include additional locations.
  • Select another meter/address and add it to the group.
  • Confirm that both meters now appear in the same group.

Create a group using the map selection tools

  • Use the map selection tools to draw a shape over the area you want to group.
  • In the example, a rectangle selection is used.
  • The tool shows how many meters are selected out of the total system meters.
  • Review the selected meters before applying changes.

Add selected meters to an existing group

  • With the meters selected, choose Edit Groups.
  • You can either:
    • Remove selected meters from a group, or
    • Add all selected meters to an existing group.
  • Save the changes.
  • Exit the selection tool to confirm all selected meters are now included in the group.

Example

59 additional locations are added to the existing group.

Use selection shortcuts to refine your selection

  • You can also create a manual fence/selection area.
  • If one meter is already selected, hold Shift to remove it from the current selection.
  • This helps fine-tune which meters are included before grouping.

Review and manage groups from the grouping section

  • Return to the Grouping section.
  • Hover over a group to highlight its selected meters on the map.
  • Click into a group to view the full list of devices inside it.
  • You can also delete individual devices from the group.

Example

Remove a specific meter such as 8110 Banach Circle from the group.

Summary

  • Meter groups can be created in two main ways:
    • Individually selecting meters/addresses
    • Using map selection tools to select multiple meters at once
  • You can also add, remove, and review meters after the group is created.
