Overview

Overview

Almost every new copier has an option that allows for meter read collection via email or fax. However, these options are not always enabled. This alert will send an email to a technician each time a new service call is opened and again when dispatched for an equipment ID that has had a previous meter reading that was "estimate" or "other".

Will notify when opened or dispatched, not both. Since the alert runs every 15 minutes, if a call is opened, then the tech dispatches themself in 15 minutes or less, then it's likely the alert will notify the tech when the status is dispatched.

 

Run Schedule:  Every 15 minutes

Type of Output: Email

Best Practices & Tips

If possible, it's best practice to use a DCA agent to automatically collect meters and insert them into e-automate, as this will eliminate the usage of estimated meters. See our documentation here on the different DCA's that CEO Juice supports.
