Overview

This alert will notify your company if equipment that you determined should never be estimated for meters has been estimated. There is no way to avoid estimated meter readings being entered on equipment in eAutomate, however, using this alert you can label the equipment to flag you anytime an estimated meter is entered on it. By adding the ZCJ_AlertOnEstimatedMtr custom property to the equipment record and selecting Yes you can tell the alert that this is equipment you do not want estimated.
