Account Groups
The Account Groups function provides a way to define more detailed groups of accounts for
use in loading and unloading collection devices, running reports, and performing other tasks
related to meter reading.
Defining Account Group Settings
This is the first function that allows you to define multiple setting records by name. In the case of
Account Groups, you might want to define several groupings to represent the various cycles,
routes, books, meter readers, or reading technologies involved.
The Setting Name drop-down list at the top of the screen has every setting record defined for
the function. When Badger
® READCENTER ® is initially installed, each function that allows
multiple setting records has one defined by default, with a name that starts with the word ‘First’.
This may be changed by the READCENTER operator. When you select a setting name from
the drop-down list, the entries saved for the setting will be displayed.
These are the buttons that allow you to maintain various screens of settings:
 Rename - Change the Setting Name without affecting the setting entry. All other
functions that reference this setting will reflect the new name automatically.
 Save - Save entries shown for the current setting record.
 New - Create a new setting record and clear all entries.
 Delete - Delete the current setting record.
 Undo - Restore account information to the last saved entries. (Note: Undo removes all
information that has changed since you accessed the setting record, not just the latest
change. Also, once you move away from a setting, changes are saved automatically
and cannot be undone by choosing Undo.)
