Issue
Virtual Meters are set up using Hierarchy Manager but only the different levels within a Hierarchy Manager template are available in the Dashboard default views

Product Line
Power Monitoring Expert

Environment
Power Monitoring Expert Software Configuration

Cause
While analyzing the different levels in a Hierarchy, the granularity of being able to see the constituent virtual meters might be necessary.

Resolution
*Warning: Take backups of any files prior to modifying them. Ensure the backups are in a location that will not be overwritten (i.e. the Desktop).*

The default views that are defined in the hierarchy template do not provide direct access to the virtual meters. To remedy this,

• Export the hierarchy template. See FA276924 for hierarchy export/import instructions.
• Find the "Views" section near the bottom of the XML file.
• Add this element inside the <Views> element:
  <View displayName="Virtual Meters" rootNodeTypeUri="uri:application-modules/power/model/type#virtualMeter"/>
• Import the hierarchy template.
• There should now be a new drop down in the Dashboard view selector called "Virtual Meters" that will give you access to virtual meters.
