The Meter Update tab enables you to view the current meter status of equipment units, enter new meter readings, and specify a meter source. It is also useful for external processes that need to update meter readings by VIN (vehicle identification number).
The Meter Update screen supports department-level and location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorizations in order to make changes or updates.
