With our Meters feature, we can keep track of the usage of our Assets. This way you can track historical usage over time and even set-up Work Order Triggers!
Once your meters have been created in your UpKeep account, you can import your past historical readings, allowing you to continue tracking the historical usage of this meter. This article explains how to import your previous meter readings!
NOTE: Your meters have to first be created in UpKeep in order to import your meter readings!
