Supply Point Details

From Ellserve Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Supply Point is the physical point at which consumption of a commodity is metered for billing purposes (e.g. ICP for electricity or gas).

An account may be associated with a number of supply points over time and vice versa. The supply points (ICPs) page allows supply points details to be used, as an alternative to account Id, for accessing cost and consumption data.

Data filtered by a supply point may contain history stretching back over several accounts, possibly with more than one supplier. Charts and tables for supply points are more likely to span longer historical periods than would be the case if only the account was selected.

Feature Description
Number of Entries Selector
Selects how many supply points entries will appear in the object (a vertical scroll bar will appear when more entries than can fit in the control are selected).
Off-Screen Entry Selector
A set of numbered buttons, reach representing a sub-page containing the selected number of currently off-screen supply point entries.
Connection Search
Allows the current set of supply point entries to be filtered by a search string. Search takes place across all fields in the supply point line and is applied with each character is typed.
Count of Entries
Shows a count of the individual supply points currently accessible (this count is updated as searches are applied.
Sortable Columns
All columns with a pale grey double headed arrow on the right margin of the column header cell are sortable. A single click anywhere in the column cell sorts the whole supply point list in ascending order by the contents of the column. A second click re-sorts in descending order. The list can only be sorted by one column at a time. Currently applied sorts are indicated by replacing the grey double headed arrows with a single dark grey arrow head (down for descending order, up for ascending order).
Connection Selection
Clicking anywhere in a row in the supply point list (which will be highlighted as the mouse moves over it) will cause the individual supply point to be applied in the filter. This causes all pages in the data section to display only data related to that supply point.
