Calculation

Click the Calculation button  on the left-side menu of the Metering app to open the Calculation page. This page is opened by default, when starting the Metering app. 

This page has two view modes:

• Project tree view mode

This is the default view. The left hand side shows the project tree, including trendings, and an empty calculation chart appears on the right hand side.

Use this view to

create folders and new calculation charts 

show previously created calculation charts

add trendings to the calculation chart

• Cost Center Plan view mode

The left hand side shows the cost center plan and on the right hand side, again, an empty calculation chart appears.

Use this view to add a meter, a cost center or the whole cost center plan to the calculation chart on the right hand side. To add an element to the calculation chart, select it in the cost center plan and drag it on the calculation chart with the mouse.

Create a new calculation chart

Open the Metering app, on the Calculation page switch to the Cost Center Plan view.

Drag e.g. a cost center from the cost center plan on the left hand side to the calculation chart on the right hand side - repeat this step for additional cost centers.

A dialog asks to select the resource and how to add the series to the calculation chart.

Select Show itemized values to display each meter of the selected resource.

This means if a cost center has 2 meters assigned for electricity - select Show itemized values to see both meters and the sum of them in the chart (3 bars shown in the chart), otherwise the chart will only show the sum of the meters (1 bar in the chart).

The following animation shows how to add two cost centers with their meters and the total water meter to a calculation chart.

At the end of the animation we can see the calculated consumptions for the cost centers and the water meter. The sum of the cost center consumption is the same as the total water meter.
