Installation & Operation Manual
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 most common function where you may choose 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 at the top of the screen has every setting record defined for the function. When
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, the entries saved for the setting will be displayed. The number in the left corner of the Status Bar
displays the number associated with the setting name.
These buttons allow you to maintain various screen 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 clears 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.
