Meter categories

A meter category is a user-defined label used to group meters. Categories enable filtering and comparison of meter data in reports.

Each meter can belong to only one category. Categories help segment reporting views, such as grouping meters by utility type, location, or equipment function.

These are common use cases for meter categories:

• Separating production meters from facility meters
• Filtering meters by energy type, such as electricity or gas
• Comparing energy usage by department or area
