UMS Control Types

The UMS control types screen displays the current control code details within the MTS database. A control code is associated with each device in the Unmetered Supply (UMS) inventory file and manages the device's operating times.

Important!  The UMS module must be installed for this screen to appear. Only user personas with roles that include the "View Control Detail" grant can view this screen.

The table can be sorted by any column by clicking the desired column header. By default, the table is sorted by Code. The table consists of the following columns:

• Code. The MTS code for the UMS control type.
• Description. The description of the control code.
• Updated date. The date and time the control type was inserted or modified, displayed in local date/time format.
• Updated by. The MTS user who inserted or modified the control type.

To add a UMS control type, use the following procedure.

Note:  The option to add a control type is available only to user personas with roles that include the "Create and Manage Control Types" grant.

1. Click the Add icon () at the bottom of the screen.
2. In the dialog box that appears, complete the following fields:
   • Code. Enter a unique control code of up to 10 characters. This code will be converted to upper case when saved.
   • Description. Enter a description of up to 46 characters.
3. Click Add.

The new control type appears in the UMS control types table and automatically includes an Updated date value and an Updated by value.
