New Features
š Faster import of meter readings
š Enhanced validation
š Dedicated import overview
Accurate measurement of consumption is the foundation of the meter-to-cash process. Thatās why weāve introduced several key improvements to help you import meter data faster and detect any issues quickly and easily.
Faster import of meter readings
Thanks to the improved meter import, readings will now be imported twice as fast.
Enhanced validation
After importing or uploading meter readings, the meter data file goes through a series of validation checks.
Weāve added a number of new statuses that clearly show where things may go wrong in the process:
Uploadingā¦: Zero Friction is currently reading the file.
Upload failed: This status appears when the file format is unreadable for Zero Friction.
Invalid format: If the file is readable but contains issues like unreadable date formats, it will be marked as āInvalid formatā. If there are no issues, Zero Friction moves to the next stage.
Validatingā¦: Zero Friction is now validating the data in the file.
Validation failed: This status appears, for example, when a meter is unavailable or a channel is unreachable. It doesnāt mean all readings are incorrect. From here, you can re-upload or choose to process the file.
Ready to process: If automatic processing is turned off, youāll see this status. It means you can now start processing the readings.
Processingā¦: Zero Friction is currently processing the data, such as handling an invalid meter.
Processed with issues: The data has been processed, but Zero Friction detected some issues. You can choose to ignore them by selecting āMark as processed.ā
Processed: The file was processed without any issues.
Dedicated import overview
To keep everything organized, weāve created a new overview. You can now find meter file imports under the specific āImportā tab within the Meters entity.
This overview now includes a handy search function, filters, and views for the different statuses. Any issues are clearly displayed in the āIssuesā tab.
