Associating Meter Templates with Maintained Groups
If you utilize the Meter Template definition functionality, you can associate that Meter Template with Maintained
Groups. After you create the association, when a new Maintained Number (Asset Numbers or Rebuildable Serial Numbers) is created within that Maintained Group (Asset Group or Rebuildable Item) a new instance of the corresponding meter is
automatically created. This enables you to streamline your Meter setup.

To associate Meter Templates with Maintained Groups:

1. Navigate to the Meter Template Association window.
2. Select an Item Type from the list of values. Valid values are Asset or Rebuildable.
3. Select a Maintained Item (Asset Group or Rebuildable Item) from the list of values.
4. Optionally, choose Find to query existing Meter Template/Maintained Group relationships.
5. Within the Meter Template region, select a meter template Name from the list of values.
6. Save your work. After saving, every Maintained Number defined as part of the current Maintained Group will automatically associate with the Meter Template; you do not need to create this association manually.

Associating Meters with Maintained Numbers
Meter Association creates the relationship between the meter definition and the
Maintained Number.

1. Navigate to the Meter Association window.
2. For optimal performance, select a Maintained Group (Asset Group or Rebuildable Item) from the list of values before selecting an Maintained Number. Only Maintained Numbers associated with the selected Maintained Group will be available in the list of values. You can optionally select an Maintained Number from the list of values first. This triggers the Maintained Group to default.
3. Choose Find to view all Meters associated with the current Maintained Number (Asset Number or Rebuildable Serial Number).
4. In the Meters region, you can associate existing, defined meters with the current asset.
To associate existing meters with the current Maintained Number, select a meter Name from the list of values. All remaining fields in the Meters region are view-only.
5. Save your work.
