Reviewing a location’s history
You can review a list of historical readings on the Degree Day tab in the Degree Day Site Review window.
A single customer may have multiple tanks or locations associated with their profile. In the Degree Day tab, each tank or location is differentiated with a unique numerical ID. Readings for all of a customer’s tanks or locations are listed in ascending order, so you can see the customer’s entire inventory at a glance.
Readings for each tank or location are pulled using one or more of the following criteria:
-
Latitude and longitude, which provide readings by individual site
-
Postal Code, which provides readings by zip code
-
Country Code, which provides readings by country
-
Station ID, which provides readings by the closest weather station
