Setting Up Interval Register Types

Interval register types define values common to interval registers of the same type. Open Admin > Interval Register Type > Add to define your interval register types.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Interval Register Type and Description for the interval register type.

Enter the Unit of Measure (UOM) that data values stored for interval registers of this type are captured in.

If a service quantity identifier is needed to further qualify data stored for interval registers of this type, enter a valid SQ Identifier.

Enter the Minutes per Interval to define the number of minutes expected in between each row of data collected for interval registers of this type.

If the installation record indicates that seasonal time shift is required, then you must enter the appropriate Seasonal Time Shift record applicable for the interval data. Please take special note of the issue described in the Evenly Sized Intervals section.

The grid contains Algorithms that may be used to perform actions on interval data for registers of this type. You must define the following for each algorithm:

• Specify the System Event with which the algorithm is associated (see the table that follows for a description of all possible events).
• Specify the Sequence number and Algorithm for each system event. You can set the Sequence Number to 10 unless you have a System Event that has multiple Algorithms. In this case, you need to tell the system the Sequence in which they should execute.

We expect that you will need more algorithms than we supply. Your algorithms will be based on any number of factors. Be aware that new algorithms may require programming. See How To Add A New Algorithm for more information.

The following table describes each System Event.
