You can assign a number of meters to a Group or domain, which represents a department,
division, or process. Meters can be assigned to multiple groups and domains, letting you
create different views of meter data. Groups and domains can be nested.
A user will encounter the project tree in several places as he or she navigates around the
web interface.
 In the System tab, the entire tree is found in the Groups folder. This is where you build
the tree by adding groups and domains. This is the only place the tree can be edited.
 Also in the System tab, a copy of the complete tree (domains and groups) is found in
the Devices folder. This is where you create and maintain Devices.
 A copy of the tree that includes only Domains is found in the Roles and Users, Rate
Schedules, and Multi-purpose Report Script folders in the System tab.
 The Meters tab is arranged with a complete copy of the tree.
 The Reports and Custom tabs are organized with copies of the tree with only
Domains.
Set up a New Group or Domain
1. Select up the System tab in the navigation tree.
2. Click on the Groups folder in the tree.
The tree is refreshed whenever a user clicks the Save button in
an object that resides in the tree, raising a database change
event. For instance, it refreshes when a Device, Meter, Group,
Rate Schedule, or Report is saved. The tree does not refresh
when a Meter Tag is saved.
Before you try to set up Devices and Meters, you must create at
least one Domain. Although roles, users, reports, rate schedules,
and multi-purpose report scripts may be global in scope,
devices, and meters must be assigned to groups.
