Meter Statistics

What is Meter Statistics?

Meter Statistics is one of the 3 Dashboards included in Meter Analytics & Forensics, and provides insights from accumulated Meter Scan Data, specifically derived from Anyline’s Meter Modules:

  • Meter

  • Meter Serial Number

  • Barcode

Like the Meter Forensics, the Meter Statistics Dashboard also provides UCR Scan Data. In addition, it displays General Scan Data, Statistics, and Analytics.

The Meter Scan Data is visually represented on a variety of Panels, including some Panels seen in other Dashboards, while also having others designed exclusively for Meter Statistics.

Understanding Meter Statistics

Here, we will show you how easy it is to access and navigate your collected Meter Scan Data using the Anyline Insights Meter Statistics Dashboard.

The content below covers each feature of Meter Statistics. A Tutorial Video shall be released soon.

Dashboard

Meter Statistics has its own unique set of Filters and Panels along with some other Filters and Panels found on other Dashboards. The Data on this Dashboard’s Panels will vary based on the Filters you select.

As the Business Event Tracking Parameters (e.g., Worker ID, Region ID, Consumer Number, or a combination of these) displayed on this Dashboard are purely for demonstrative purposes to give you an idea of how your Dashboards can be configured, the actual combination of Filters and Panels present on your Dashboard may differ based on the Business Event Tracking Parameters provided.

If you wish to enable these Filters and Panels please be sure to provide these Parameters, so they can be added to the Dashboard. Please reach out to your CSM for guidance on how to provide these Parameters.

For more information on Business Event Tracking Parameters, please go to the Meter Analytics & Forensics Home Page.


Meter Statistics Data Filter

The Filter Section of every Anyline Insights Dashboard contains both a Time/Date Range Filter and Data Filter.

The Time/Date Range Filter contains the same features and options on every Dashboard from each Module and is mentioned on the Modules Home Page.

The Data Filter in Meter Statistics has 8 options to choose from and filter your Meter Scan Data on the Dashboard. Here are the 8 Filters available on Meter Statistics.

Main Body (Panels and what they mean)

Meter Statistics contains 4 different Sections, each composed of their own Panels.

By default, all metrics displayed in the below Panels are calculated for the last 24 hours. Please apply your desired changes within the Time/Date Range Filter to update these metrics within these Panels.

  • Meter Scans Overview

  • Scan Details

  • User Corrected Results

  • Images
