FacilityBot allows users to set warning thresholds for detecting erroneous meter readings based on standard deviation. This feature helps prevent inaccurate data entry by alerting users when a reading falls outside the expected range.
How It Works
When a user manually enters a meter reading, FacilityBot calculates the average and standard deviation of the last 10 reading changes. If the new reading exceeds the set threshold, a warning message appears, prompting the user to review the entry before confirming.
Enabling Warning Thresholds
To enable this feature,
- Log in to the FacilityBot Web Portal.
- Go to “Features” → “Meters.”
- Find the meter you want to configure, hover over it, and click the edit (pen) icon.
- Under New Reading Error Warnings, set the standard deviation threshold for triggering a warning. Click Complete to save your settings.
Testing the Feature
To test if the warning system works:
- Navigate to “Features” → “Meters.”
- Hover over the meter and click the meter icon to enter a new reading.
- Input an erroneous reading and click Submit.
- If the reading exceeds the threshold, a warning prompt will appear, asking you to double-check. You can choose to accept or cancel the reading.
By enabling this feature, users can ensure more accurate meter readings and reduce errors in data entry.
