False
It represents a general grouping of person contacts such as email or phone.
Contact Routing
This is configured to indicate the times when a person contact should not be used.
Do Not Disturb (From)
Do Not Disturb (To)
This should only be used when a person contact cannot be deleted because it is referenced on another object such as a communication preference.
Inactive indicator
This should be created when a customer communicates with the utility and when the utility contacts a customer.
Customer Contact
True or False: A Customer Contact may be related to Person, Account and/or Premise
True
True or False: A Customer Contact may be related to Person and Premise only
False. It may also be related to an Account
To Do Entries trigger the creation of a Customer Contact. True/False
False. Customer Contacts trigger the creation of To Do Entries
This controls the type of information that is merged into the form letter and how the letter is physically produced.
Letter Template
True or False. Bills are produced for accounts and are sent to the account’s persons.
True
Bills are always sent to the main customer only. True or False.
False. You can also indicate which of the other persons receive duplicate bills.
Accounts never expire; they just become dormant when they have no active contracts. True or False
True
It controls ‘when’ the system attempts to create bills for the account
Bill Cycle
An account references only 1 person which is the main customer. True or False
False. An account references 1 or more persons. One of these persons must be defined as the main customer.
A Premise may have zero, one, or more SPs at any instant in time. True/False
True
If a device is reconfigured, the original configuration’s installation event must be updated with the removal date. True/False
True. A new installation event should also be created with the new install date.
This is a history of the devices that have been installed at a Service Point so usage at a Service Point can be calculated throughout time
Installation Events
Device may be turned off and back on again. True/False
True
What will occur when a scalar meter installed at a Service Point is replaced with an Interval Meter?
AMI Transitions
It displays a historical scalar measurement data in the graph as interval measurement data.
SP Consumption History
A Device Configuration Type is installed at a Service Point. True/False
False. A Device Configuration is.
In a Service Point Type: Name the 3 SP Category/Sub Types of devices that can be installed at SP.
Meter, Item, Unbadged Devices
Only 1 Meter can be installed at a Service Point. True/False
True.
Multiple unbadged items can be installed at a Service Point. True/False
True.
Multiple items can be installed at a Service Point. True/False
False. Only unbadged items can be installed in multiples.
Some implementations have locations where multiple meter devices may be installed. True/False
True. A Separate Parent SP should be created to purely group the physical locations that can have meter devices installed then create child SPs for each physical location.
It controls when the meter device at the SP is read.
Measurement Cycle
It defines a group of SPs that are visited by a meter reader.
Route
It defines the physical position of the SP within a route.
Sequence
Used by business intelligence analytics to support distribution and other network-related analysis
Network Locations
You can configure whether a Service Point is usable as a Parent SP using this admin data.
Service Point Type
This is used to navigate in C2M without having to click and scroll through the Menu bar.
Search Menu
Used to support transfer of Service Points between Measurement Cycle Routes
Route Management
If a person is linked to at least 1 account, users will not be allowed access to the person unless they have access to at least one of the person’s accounts. True/False
True.
A person not linked to any accounts may not be accessed by any user. True/False
False. Any unlinked person may be accessed by any user.
An Installation Option setting allows these premise and service points to be secured by CIS DIVs associated with the user. True/False
True.
It defines a group of users that have the same access rights.
Data Access Role
Most SAs are created via Start Service. True/False
True.
Start options are only needed on SAs with ________.
Contractual Terms
User access rights to an account consists of: Choose all that apply: *Bills *Payment *Adjustments *Orders **None **All
**All
These are data used to track information about the operational devices managed by ODM (Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management)
