Tagging Data for Reporting

Tagging allows you to group data for specific reporting needs and apply varying reporting percentages and effective dates to further control how and when data gets reported. Tagging is also used as a general feature of the platform. For example one of the most used tag types is the Consolidation tag type which is used in most standard reports and dashboards to determine whether (or how much) an account or meter contributes to data being presented.
