Reading Type

Reading Type is used to define and configure different types of readings used for meter and monitoring operations within the Inventory Settings module. It helps standardize reading calculations by associating readings with Meter Types, Domains, Units of Measure, and Average Calculation Methods.

This section is related to the following configurations:

• Meter Type: Used to associate the reading with a specific meter category.

• Domain: Used to classify the reading under a specific operational domain.

• Unit of Measure: Used to define the measurement unit for the reading.

What you see on the screen

The Reading Type page displays the list of configured reading types, along with their associated domain, meter type, average calculation method, unit of measure, and description.

This section allows users to search for, filter, add, edit, and delete reading-type configurations:

• Reading Name

• Domain Name

• Meter Type

• Average Calculation Method

• Unit of Measure

• Description

Reading Type | Basic Details

Label	Action	Description / Example
Reading Name	Enter the reading type name	Used to define the name of the reading type. Example: Temperature, Pressure, Voltage
Meter Type	Select a meter type from the dropdown	Used to associate the reading type with a specific meter category.
Domain Name	Select a domain from the dropdown	Used to associate the reading type with a configured domain. Example: Electrical Meter Domain
Unit of Measure	Select a unit from the dropdown	Used to define the measurement unit for the reading type. Example: kilogram
Average Calculation Method	Select a calculation method from the dropdown	Used to define how average values are calculated for the reading type. Available options include: Moving Average – Calculates the average based on the latest set of readings over a defined period. Cumulative Average – Calculates the average using all recorded readings cumulatively. Instant Average – Calculates the average based on immediate or current readings. Weighted Average – Calculates the average by assigning different weights to readings based on importance or frequency.
Threshold Applicability	Enable or disable the toggle	Used to specify whether threshold monitoring and alert conditions are applicable for the reading type. Enabled – Threshold values can be configured for the reading type, allowing the system to monitor readings and trigger alerts when configured limits are exceeded. Disabled – Threshold monitoring is not applied for the reading type, and no threshold-based validation or alerts will be generated. Example: Enable Threshold Applicability for a Temperature reading type to generate alerts when the temperature exceeds the defined limit.
Description	Enter the description	Used to provide additional details about the reading type configuration. Example: Used for monitoring electrical meter temperature readings in asset management operations.
