Adjusting Columns
When information is displayed in columns on any screen in ORS, column order can be changed by selecting a column heading
and dragging it, right or left, to a new position. ORS retains the new column format until it is changed again. Adjust the size of
any column by clicking between the column headings and dragging to expand or condense the column width.
Account information is displayed in the order of the route as loaded from the reading data management software.
Column Headings
The column headings in List View are based on user selections available in the reading data management software and may
vary from those shown here. AMR S/N is selected automatically so it always displays in List View.

screen provides account details stored for that customer and allows you to enter codes and messages or
enter manual meter readings. For more information, refer to "Service Details" on page 27.

descriptions can be found in the Legend. For descriptions of the meter icons, refer to "Meter Icons" on

Completed Readings
As meter readings are received from the ORION mobile transceiver and/or receiver, the line for that meter drops off List
View so as to monitor the reading status and missed reads in real time. When all meters are read, List View disappears and a
message displays briefly, confirming that readings have been completed.
