Group Meter Thresholds

Group meter thresholds display all threshold settings for each meter owned by the group.

A threshold is an amount at which a notification is triggered to alert groups that a meter has reached or exceeded a specific amount. To view threshold values, select a meter name in Meters or Composite Meters in the Group Summary page. You can change thresholds and enable or disable notifications for the threshold.
