You create or modify meter classes using the meter class editor. The usual way to open the editor is to click New Meter Class or Edit in the View section of Coding Definitions | Units | Meter Classes.
The meter class editor window contains the following:
Details section: Shows basic information for the record.
Code: A brief code to identify this record. No two records may have the same code.
Description: A longer description of the meter class.
UOM: The units of measure used by this type of meter.
Comments: Any comments you want to associate with the meter class.
Meters section: Shows any meters that belong to this class. For more on meters, see Meters.
Maintenance Timings section: Shows any maintenance timing records associated with this class. For more, see Maintenance Timings.
Save & New: Saves the current record and sets up the window for you to enter a new record. Fields in the new record will be blank or set to default values.
Save: Saves the current record. The editor window stays open in case you want to make more changes to the same record.
Save & Close: Saves the current record and closes the editor window.
Cancel: Closes the window without saving any changes you've made to the record since the last time you saved. When you Save the record, the Cancel button changes to Close, indicating that you can safely close the window without losing any changes.
Close: Closes the window. This button only appears after you've saved changes with Save or before you've entered any data at all. Otherwise, the button is labeled Cancel.
