Reset Tab

The Reset tab allows user to reset or roll back meter readings for a piece of equipment. This is useful when a meter on the equipment has to be replaced.

There are two grids available for resets. One is for resetting the hour meter, the second for resetting another type of meter.

A sample of these grids appears below. Sort records in the grids by clicking on the headings.  An arrow (highlighted in orange below) indicates whether data appear in ascending or descending order. The functions in each grid allow user to view, add, edit, or delete the record.

• Right-click in the grid to add a record.
• Right-click on an existing record for options to View Record, Add Record, Edit Record, or Delete Record.
• Double-click on an existing record to open it.

How To Reset a Meter

1. Right-click in the corresponding grid and select Add Record.  A window similar to the following will appear:

   

2. Enter the last reading on the meter (before it was removed) in the Prior Meter Read field.  This field is required.
3. Enter the current reading on the new meter in the New Meter Read field.  This field is required.
4. Enter the Reset Date (required).
5. The Old Start Reading field automatically populates the Starting Amount entered in the Eval tab.
6. The Units Used field automatically calculates the total usage of the old meter (Old Start Reading value - Prior Meter Read value).  
7. Enter additional comments in the grid.
8. Save and close the record.

   Note: Users are not able to enter meter resets for hour meter or other meter changes performed in the past. This reset only applies to the most recent reading. To enter a meter reset for which the date of the reset is in the past, edit and then save the Equipment record after adding the old meter reset. This will correct the Amount Used readings on the Eval tab.
