A connection is the physical point at which consumption of a commodity is metered for billing purposes (e.g. ICP for electricity or gas).
An account may be associated with a number of connection points over time and vice versa. The connections (ICPs) page allows connection details to be used, as an alternative to account Id, for accessing cost and consumption data.
Data filtered by a connection may contain history stretching back over several accounts, possibly with more than one supplier. Charts and tables for connections are more likely to span longer historical periods than would be the case if only the account was selected.

Description
|
- Number of Entries Selector
|
- Selects how many connections entries will appear in the object (a vertical scroll bar will appear when more entries than can fit in the control are selected).
|
- Off-Screen Entry Selector
|
- A set of numbered buttons, reach representing a sub-page containing the selected number of currently off-screen connection entries.
|
- Connection Search
|
- Allows the current set of connection entries to be filtered by a search string. Search takes place across all fields in the connection line and is applied with each character is typed.
|
- Count of Entries
|
- Shows a count of the individual connections currently accessible (this count is updated as searches are applied.
|
- Sortable Columns
|
- All columns with a pale grey double headed arrow on the right margin of the column header cell are sortable. A single click anywhere in the column cell sorts the whole connection list in ascending order by the contents of the column. A second click re-sorts in descending order. The list can only be sorted by one column at a time. Currently applied sorts are indicated by replacing the grey double headed arrows with a single dark grey arrow head (down for descending order, up for ascending order).
|
- Connection Selection
|
- Clicking anywhere in a row in the connection list (which will be highlighted as the mouse moves over it) will cause the individual connection to be applied in the filter. This causes all pages in the data section to display only data related to that connection.
