Requirements and Limitations
The following requirements and limitations apply to Inside Opower.
- Browser Requirements: The customer must use a supported web or mobile browser. Oracle Utilities Web products adhere to the Oracle Software Web Browser Support Policy.
- Report Availability: The reports that are available in Inside Opower, and the data that the reports and dashboards contain, depend on the Oracle Utilities Opower programs in which the utility is enrolled. There are no additional requirements for Inside Opower beyond the requirements of each program. For example, if a utility and customer meet the requirements to see tips in the Oracle Utilities Opower Energy Efficiency Web Portal - Classic, the utility is also eligible to receive reports about tip actions in Inside Opower.
- Feature Availability: Some Inside Opower features may not be applicable or available to your utility because they are part of a paid add-on service. Contact your Oracle Utilities Opower Delivery Team if you have any questions.
- Tip Manager Language Support: The Tip Manager is a feature that provides tip content in the language agreed upon between Oracle Utilities and the utility. The Tip Manager interface for editing tip content is only available in English.
