        Step by Step
        
         
        1     Open the Top Users window (UB> Reports> Top Users).
         
        2     Configure the report.  
            
                 
                
                    - When generating a Top Users report, you must select either a New Billing batch, billing cycle or 
		account class. You cannot filter the report by more than one of those options. 
		For example, you cannot filter the report by billing cycle and account class.
 
                    - The Batch field allows you to filter the accounts in the report by committed New Billing 
		batch. Click the Batch Number field label to select a committed 
		New Billing batch from a list.
 
                    - The Billing Cycle drop-down menu is used to filter the accounts included in the 
		report by billing cycle.
 
                    
                        - You can view the billing cycle attached to a specific UB customer account on the Account Master 
			Maintenance window (UB> Maintenance> Account> Account tab> 
			Account sub-tab> Billing Cycle field).
 
                    
                    - The Class drop-down menu allows you to filter the report by the class 
	attached to the lots.
 
                    
                        - Account classes are created and maintained in the Account Class Maintenance window (UB> 
			Maintenance> Account Classes).
 
                        - Account classes are attached to lots using the Lot Maintenance 
		window (Lot icon> Open a lot> Lot tab> Classes 
			drop-down menu).
 
                    
                    - The Service drop-down menu is used to select which service will be used for the top users 
		report. Consumption or billings on the selected service will be used to generate 
		a list of the top users.
 
                    
                        - Consumption on a meter is associated with a bill type not a service. In order to calculate the 
			consumption on a service, the report matches the consumption on meters with the 
			service rates of the same bill type. The service associated with those service 
			rates is then used as the service associated with the consumption.
 
                    
                    - The History Date To and History Date From fields are used to filter 
		the transactions that display on the report by transactions date.
 
                    
                        - You can view the transactions date of a transaction on a customer account on the History tab of 
			the customer maintenance window (UB> Maintenance> Account).
 
                    
                    - Select how you would like to determine the top users in the Calculate by drop-		down menu.
 
                    
                        - Select Billable Consumption if you would like to generate a list of top users by billable 
			consumption. This option will generate a list of top users by the consumption 
			read on meters during the date range entered in the History Date From and History Date To fields. The report will 
			include both billed and unbilled consumption on the report.
 
                        
                            - The consumption on the report will be filtered by the read date of the meter readings. If a 
				meter reading does no fall within the date range entered in the History Date From and History Date To fields the 
				consumption on that meter reading will not be included on the report.
 
                            - Consumption attached to subtract or exempt meters will affect the consumption that displays 
				on the report. For example, if a subtract meter is attached to a customer 
				account, the consumption on the subtract meter will be subtracted from the 
				consumption on the meter on the report.
 
                        
                        - Select Dollar Amount if you would like to generate a list of top users by the billed amount on 
			the service selected in the Service drop-down menu.
 
                    
                    - Select the number of records you would like to display on the report in the Results drop-down menu. For example, if you would like to generate a top ten users list, 
		enter 10 in this field.
 
                
             
         
         
        3     Print the report.  
            
                 
                
                    - Click the Print icon 
 to generate the report immediately or enter a date and time in the field 
		next to the Print icon to schedule the report to generate at a later time. 
                    
                        - You cannot schedule a report to print on a date and time that has already passed. If you 
			want the report to print later in the evening, enter a PM in the AM/PM portion 
			of the date field before entering the hour.
 
                        - You can view the progress of the report on the Job Viewer window (SS> Utilities> Show Scheduled 
			Jobs). If the report has been scheduled to generate at a later time, you can view 
			the scheduled date and time in the Scheduled Date/Time field.
 
                        - You can open the report from the Jobs Viewer window once it has been generated.
