Sigma Online User Manual

Setting up Users with access to Energy Viewer

Sigma Energy Viewer can be used by site managers to view their bills, meter usage and adding meter readings to non periodic channels. Once added via the Energy Viewer, they are instantly showing in Sigma. The users access can be limited to one (or more) sites and to parts of the Energy Viewer. See below details on how to set up users specifically for Energy Viewer.

Setting up a Role

A Role is created to determine what areas of Sigma a User has access to. In this example, the User may only need to see the 6 elements of the Energy Viewer, or they may only need access to some of those elements. You could have more than one Energy Viewer Role, giving different elements to different Users.

Setting up a Group

A Group is created so that Sites can be assigned to a User. Each Group can contain one or more Site. As an example, if you have 10 schools who require access to just their school, you would need to set up 10 Groups each having one Site assigned to them.

If you want to set up a Group for Building Units, please refer to Energy Viewer - Additional set up for Building Units.
