When your team is looking to keep track of the usage of your Assets, you can go to our Meters section. This way you can track historical usage over time. You also have the ability to use Meters to set-up Work Order Triggers.
If you already have your list of Meters that you want to set-up, you can import these into UpKeep quickly!
Here is a video tutorial on importing meters. You can also find this at 29:27 of our general Data Importing Webinar!
How to Import Meters
Download the “Meters Data Import” Sheet (or check out the GIF below)
