When setting up meters/wells within EnergySteward.com you sometimes need to define new fields to associate to the various meters/wells. These various new fields can be defined as 'Attributes' which you can optionally assign to various meters/wells. This gives you a virtually unlimited method for tagging your meters/wells within EnergySteward.com with information relative to them.
For example, if you want to keep track of the various flavors of EFM devices used throughout your meter/well assets. You can setup unique attributes for each EFM type and then attach these attributes to the various meters/wells. Once your meters/wells are tagged with the attribute, you can then run queries to get list of all meter/well assets with a given attribute (ie.. "Give me a list of meters/wells with "EFM - TotalFlow"...".
You can have an unlimited number of attributes defined within EnergySteward.com . You can then optionally assign 1 or more of these attributes to each meter/well you have defined in the system.
This particular configuration screen allows you to setup your 'drop down list' of meter/well attributes which can be used when setting up your deals.
The screen shot below shows the initial screen which lists out your available meter/well attributes:
Add Meter/Well Attribute (button) - Click this button to add a new meter/well attribute.
View/Edit Grid Button (pencil) - Click this next to the applicable meter/well attribute in order to change the information about this attribute.
Delete Grid Button (red x) - Click this next to the applicable meter/well attribute that you want to permanently delete. When you delete a meter/well attribute, then all meter/well associations with this attribute will be removed (meters/wells will still be there, just their association to this attribute will be permanently deleted). Important note: You will be presented with a confirmation ("Are you sure...?") dialog box prior to deletion.
Meter/Well Attribute Type Name - This can be any name for the meter/well attribute which you want to define. It is suggested that you make this name relatively descriptive for the meter/well attribute in question. The name you post here is what will show up within the pull down list box when setting up a meter/well.
Notes - This is required and should just be a brief description for indicating what conditions might cause a meter/well to be tagged with this attribute.
Is Attribute Available (checkbox) - If checked, then this meter/well attribute is considered active and will therefore show up in the pull down list boxes when setting up meter/well information. If unchecked then historical meter/well attribute information is maintained BUT when assigning new attributes to meters/wells, the item will be unavailable (will not show up in the pull down list box).
