Overview
Events can be automatically generated in WaterSight based on user defined rules/triggers (alerts), but they can be also manually created by the user directly based on graph observation. This can be very useful for the cases where:
- an automatic event was not generated, but the user notices some anomaly based on graph observation and wants to capture as an event (which can then be properly tracked and managed as an automatic event)
- an automatic event was not generated for a specific zone, the user knows some anomaly is going on and wants to perform the geolocation - to help narrow down the search area inside the zone. More information here - Geolocation of leaks.
- meters are failing or are measuring wrong. Adding manual events and categorize those as meter failure might be important to assure reliable water balance calculations and also to allow a correct gap filling for the zones. More information here - Zone Gap Filing: Estimating missing or wrong data and Water Balance Calculation.
Workflow
- Navigate to the sensor, zone or large customer graph detail, by acceding the Maps menu or the Network Monitoring menu.
- In the graph detail, navigate to the correct time of the event. It is recommended to change the time series Interval to "15 Minutes".
- In the main graph window make sure to zoom to the right period of the event (using the mouse over the main graph), which should includes start and end date (figure below).
5. Click on the create event button ( ). Give a name to the event, and make sure to correctly adjust the start and end date of the event. This is very important when running the leakage geolocation. Categorize the event and update the status. Click Create.
6. Once clicking create, the event will be added to the graph and represented with a pyramid purple symbol. Click over the event symbol to enter the event details graph.
7. This event will also be available directly from the Active Event list and highlighted in the Maps (represented with the warning icon near the sensor or zone) in case its status is open (New, Open, Field Work or Under Investigation).
