Navigation
Within the meter readings dashboard, operatives have access to multiple navigational and filtering options to make identifying an interacting with points easier. These options are displayed slightly different depending on the type of device:
Desktop View
On large devices, such as desktop computers and landscape tablets, the navigation and filters are always visible:
Mobile View
On smaller devices, such as mobile phones, the filters are accessed by clicking the [ ] icon:
All Filters
1. Building Filter
The building filter defaults to the first building when the meter readings dashboard is loaded. If an operative is assigned to more than one site, they can change their current view by clicking the toggle to see their available buildings:
Changing the current building will also update the list of available reading routes
2. Reading Route Filter
The reading route filter defaults to the main reading route of the selected building - if one has been specified. If not, the initial reading route will display all points. The reading route filter allows operatives to enter their readings in a more convenient and manageable way compared to doing all at the same time:
Changing the current reading route will result in the point cards being refreshed
3. Point Name Filter
The point name filter defaults to empty - which ensures all points of a reading route are displayed by default. By entering text within the input, the displayed points can be filtered by their name:
As long as there is at least one match for the supplied filter text (ignoring case), only the matching points will be displayed. However, if none pof the available points match the supplied filter, all points will be displayed and the error will be highlighted:
4. Begin Walk Button
The begin walk button allows an operative to commence or continue a walk process. When toggling a walk process, the process will be created for the currently selected building and reading route. Operatives can't have more than one walk process active for a given combination of building and reading route.
5. Print Button
The print button allows an operative to print their current dashboard either as a .pdf file or as a physical document. This allows the operative to take their readings manually before coming back to re-enter them into the system.
