3.3 User structure/other functions
The user structure allows intuitive and effective structuring of the meters based on
the functions used and the reports required.
Any number of structural nodes can be set up at the different hierarchical levels
("Building pool", "Site", "Object", and "Element"). Meters can be allocated to each
of these nodes.
An individual energy reference area can be assigned to each site and object. The
energy reference areas are totaled automatically on the basis of the user structure.
Newly defined or modified areas are allocated a time stamp which is automatically
taken into account in the reporting function.
Users can attach files containing additional information (file formats such as doc,
.xls, .pdf, .jpg etc. but not executable files such as .exe or .bat).
These files can be used for action lists, service and object documentation or docu-
ments for maintenance management. The documents can be opened in an Internet
browser and saved locally if required.
