This topic includes instructions to add, edit, or delete a metering point.

This topic outlines how to manually add, edit, and delete individual metering points in VertiGIS FM. You can alternatively import your own internal record of metering points into the VertiGIS FM database using a CSV or XML file. This option is ideal for adding, editing, or deleting large quantities of metering points simultaneously (for example, to establish an initial record of your metering points in the VertiGIS FM database).
