Filtering Records
The row of fields below the column headings on the Account Records grid is called a filter
bar. The filter bar allows you to search for details such as Account ID, Last Name, and
address in the records, based on a character or term you enter. For example, if you key
an “M” into the blank cell under the Street Name heading, streets that begin with “M” will
appear in the rows below. If you key in the full name of the street, streets beginning with
that name will appear.
Toolbar Icons
 Add - Adds a new record to the database. Typically, records are added automatically
when a file is read in from the billing system so this function is rarely needed.
 Save - Saves account information to the database for the record currently selected.
 Delete - Deletes the currently selected record from the database.
 Undo - Restores account information to the last saved entries. (Note: Undo removes
all information that has changed since you accessed the account record, not just the
latest change. Also, once you move away from a record, changes are saved
automatically and cannot be undone by choosing Undo.)
 Record Navigation - Navigation buttons may be used to move through records. From
left to right, arrow buttons move the cursor to the first row, previous row, next row, and
last row. The number in the center indicates the row of the currently selected record.
 History - Accesses a history of readings collected for the currently selected account.
Information Grouping - Account information is organized into six sections.
 Customer - Resident name and address where the meter is located.
 Meter - Information about the meter.
 Registration - Type of method used to read the meter.
 To Reader - Information helpful to the person or collection device that reads the meter.
 From Reader - Information from the person or collection device that reads the meter.
 Utility Use - Extra space for miscellaneous information from the billing system.
 Notes - Notes related to the account record.
