Step-by-step Instructions:
Step 1: Go to Utility Meters page

Step 2: View Inactive Meters
On this page, you will see Active Meters by default. We need to find the Inactive ones by:

- Select Inactive Meters.
Step 3: Activate a Utility Meter
- Locate and click on the Meter requiring activation.
- Click on Edit Meter Setup.

❗️Important Note For Wild Energy Integration Users: Parks using the Wild Energy integration and their digital meters should enter 999999 for the Rollover Value.
