Manage Preliminary Reading

Explanation

This activity is used to change a Preliminary reading into a valid reading, or to mark it as incorrect. An assistant will guide you through the process. The reading will have been set as a Preliminary Reading having failed validation, when entered against an object parameter in the Measurements for Object page. The assistant allows for the correction reason to be selected (Reading is incorrect/Meter has 'rolled over'/Meter has been changed), and then provides for the relevant data to be entered for that reason. Provided that all the data has been entered, and the reading validates, then the Preliminary Reading will be converted to another Measurement Type. If more than one sequential reading exists of the type Preliminary Reading, only the earliest of these can be corrected via the assistant. Following correction, the subsequent readings will be re-validated, and will either be set as Recorded Readings, or if they still fail validation, will remain as Preliminary Readings - the earliest of which can then in turn be corrected.

Prerequisites

The parameter must be of Value Type ‘Accumulated’. ‘Limit’ type parameters are not affected by Meter Roll-overs and Meter Changes in the same way as Accumulated type parameters, as they do not have an accumulating Total Value.
