The Readings tab records meter readings. Users may enter a unique ID number for a reading if there is a need to distinguish it from others and indicate its purpose (e.g., routine reading, maintenance). Each record displays the previous reading, as well as the difference between the current and previous readings; therefore, users must provide the date of each reading.
Several of these fields on this tab have special functions:
