If you are an Administrator or SiteAdministrator, you can use the data completeness feature to track and monitor data inputs for multiple activities or meters over time. The system runs a scan that checks for completeness of data across the activities or meters that you select. You can set the scan to run for a certain period and the results will show whether data is Missing, Up to Date, Overdue, or Waiting to be updated. You can update and change the test settings at any time.


You can configure non-interval tests to scan for missing data. Non-interval data activities include types of data, such as invoices or supplier statements, and is the main scan used.
