Map Using Saved Import Definitions

Uploading meter readings in bulk is possible through the import tool. However, a file might not have meter readings for every single asset or Log Type. This could be depending on where your Assets are located, or based on your meter reading routine (weekly/biweekly etc.).

Saved Import Definitions can be used as a preset when uploading meter readings so the appropriate columns are mapped automatically.
