Found Meters Report

This report shows found meters heard by gateways Device that collects meter reading data from Neptune's encoder registers and transmits the data for collection. This unit receives the data and stores it to download to Neptune 360. within in a specified date range. A found meter is an endpoint Any meter or Meter Interface Unit (MIU) that collects usage data. that a gateway for a site hears but the site has not claimed. A meter is claimed when you import it into Neptune^® 360™. You can set the date range of the report up to two years prior to the current date.

If a found meter has multiple readings for the specified date range, the report displays only the latest reading for that period. A found meter no longer appears on this report after it is imported into Neptune 360.

Run the Report

Follow the steps to run the report. After running the report, some reports have Route and Group filters you can apply to narrow down the data in the report grid:

Route – filter the report by the selected route. You can filter by only one route at a time. If you do not select a route, then the report displays all routes by default.
Group – if filtering by Groups is available, by default, reports display endpoints in all Groups within your network. You can include only endpoints for a selected group in your report, or exclude endpoints within a selected group.

Click the report name.
If required, select a date in the To and From fields to display the report within a specific date range. Some reports have only one date for selection.

To filter the report by a specific route, in the Route field, select the route. If you do not select a route, all routes are included in the report.
To run the report by a specific group, in the Group field, select the group.

To include or exclude endpoints within a group, do one of the following:

Include all endpoints within all groups in your network – this is the default; no additional selection is required.
Include only the endpoints in a selected group – click Include, and then select the group.
Exclude all endpoints within a selected group – click Exclude, and then select the group. The report displays all endpoints within all groups, except the selected group.

Select other options specific to the report, as required.

Important! if the report requires an account endpoint or ID, you can enter the first few numbers and then click Submit to display a list from which you can select.

If required, click Submit to run the report.

Each report shows related data in grid or table format.
