Reset Tab

The Reset tab allows the user to reset or roll back meter readings for a vehicle. This capability is useful if the meter in the vehicle has to be replaced.

There are three grids available for resets. They Reset the odometer, hour meter, or another meter.

A sample of these grids appears below. Sort records in the grids by clicking on the headings.  An up or down arrow (highlighted in orange below) indicates whether data appear in ascending or descending order. The functions in each grid allow the 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. This field is required.
5. The Old Start Reading field is auto-populated with the Starting Amount entered for the meter in the Eval tab.
6. The Units Used field is auto-calculated (Old Start Reading value - Prior Meter Read value).  This indicates the total usage of the old meter.
7. Enter additional comments in the grid.
8. Save and close the record.

   Note: Users are not able to put in 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 Fleet record after adding the old meter reset. This will correct the Amount Used readings on the Eval tab.
