Code

Enter a code for the gauge definition.

Description

Enter a relevant description of the gauge definition.

Maximum value

Enter the maximum value that the gauges in this gauge definition can measure. You can also leave this field unspecified. In that case, it is mandatory to enter a maximum threshold value on the Meters level on adding a gauge. Also it will no longer be possible to enter a value in this field.

Meter classification

Select a relevant meter type from the dialog box available in this field. For example a specially created meter classification group to monitor sustainability.

Minimum value

Enter the minimum value that the gauges linked to this gauge definition can measure. You can also leave this field unspecified. In that case, it is mandatory to enter a minimum threshold value on the Meters level on adding a gauge. Also it will no longer be possible to enter a value in this field.

Recyclable

Meters measure physical quantities or service usage, such as water, temperature, waste etc. Specify if the item measured by a meter is recyclable (Yes/No). If you specify this field on the gauge/counter definition, the Recyclable field on the linked gauges/counters and gauge/counter readings will automatically have the same value.

Standard order for max. threshold value

From the dialog box available in this field, select a standard order that is to be the basis for order generation: as soon as a reading of a linked gauge exceeds the maximum threshold, an order (work order or request) is automatically generated in Work Orders . Note: if a standard order is also available for a linked gauge, it overrules the standard order specified for the gauge definition.

Standard order for min. threshold value

From the dialog box available in this field, select a relevant standard order that is to be the basis for order generation: as soon as a reading of a linked gauge exceeds the minimum threshold, an order (work order or request) is automatically generated in Work Orders . Note: if a standard order is also available for a linked gauge, it overrules the standard order specified for the gauge definition.

Unit of measurement

Select the unit of measurement. If you specify a unit of measurement on the gauge/counter definition, the linked gauges/counters and gauge/counter readings will automatically have the same unit of measurement.

User-defined status

Select a relevant user-defined status from the dialog box available in this field.
