How do I set up a good folder structure?

A good folder structure makes it easier for multiple people to collaborate on the same Metry account.

Build a tree that corresponds to your regions, areas and properties, so the right person can quickly find their data and handle any required actions.

How do I create a group in the folder structure?

  1. Click the Add… button in the top right corner.
  2. Select the type you want to create:
    • Group (or Subgroup if inside an existing group) - a generic container
    • Property - for a property or real estate asset
    • Building - for a building within a property
  3. Enter a name and optionally an ID for your group.

How do I add metering points to a tree group?

Option 1 - Select and move:

  1. Select the metering points.
  2. Click More… above the list and select Move to tree group…
  3. Search for the group you want to move the metering points to and click Move.

Option 2 - Drag and drop

  1. Select the metering points.
  2. Click and drag them to the group you want.

Where are metering points visible in the tree?

All metering points are always visible in Active meters.

In a tree group, the metering points that are directly in the group are shown, as well as those in the group’s subgroups.

Are metering points moved or copied?

  • If you drag/move a metering point from the Active meters list it will be copied to the new group and remain in all groups it is already in.
  • If you drag/move a metering point from within a tree group it is currently in, it will be moved from that tree group to the new one.

How do I remove metering points from a tree group?

  1. Go to the tree group you want to remove them from.
  2. Select the metering points.
  3. Click and drag them to Active meters.
