Fact Audit

Facts can be imported into the system or generated through an analytics process. A fact is a single characteristic or event that can be used to look for occurrences of that characteristic; for example, a fact can be defined as a non-reporting meter event. You can then use the fact in a filter to search for all the instances of non-reporting meters.

Facts are typically updated daily through core processes. The Manage Fact Audits page assists in troubleshooting fact or finding more information about the results from the core processes. You can see the number of data points (Point Count) that are available as well as the number of instances that are associated to the fact (Value Count).

This page allows you to view fact audit data that was selected in the search pane. The Manage Fact Audits page is accessible from the Manage Operations menu and from the Administer Facts page.
