For each element listed in the table, indicate the desired configuration in the Input Value column. If you do not provide an input for optional configurations, the default will be used.

Configuration Option	Input Value
Year and Bill Views for AMI Customers The Year and Bill views of the Power chart can be enabled for business customers who have interval (AMI) data. This way, energy demand data can be displayed over larger time intervals. Demand data in the Year view is based on billing data from the utility. Demand data in Bill view is calculated by Oracle Energy and Water, and is based on subdaily interval data from the utility. Note: If Oracle's method of calculating energy demand differs significantly from your utility's billing method, then the data in the Bill view may not fully align with the data in the Year view. You should work with your Delivery Team to ensure that the demand calculation approaches are aligned before enabling the Year and Bill views. Default: Enable the Day view only.	Optional Choose one of the following: Use the default. Work with your Delivery Team to enable the Year and Bill views for AMI customers.
