Add meter readings, keys and detector information

Add meter readings, keys and detector information on the HelloReport Mobile App


You can now add individual keys and detectors to your report via the website and mobile app.


On check-ins and check-outs, photograph a meter and the assistant reads the supply type, serial number and reading, including day and night readings on Economy 7 meters. A reading that's lower than the one recorded at check-in is flagged for you to check. If there's already a value recorded, you choose whether to keep it or use the suggested reading.
