Purpose Show the mobile Meter Readings screen, including the offline badge at the top.

The Meter Readings module is where field workers capture readings while out in the field, typically reached by tapping a meter marker on the Map.

Offline Badge

Meter Readings shows an offline indicator at the top of the screen when there's no connection. This is the same badge component used on the Map screen — not a separate design — so the offline state looks and behaves consistently across the app.

Capturing a Reading

The general flow mirrors the web Meter Readings concept:

Open Map or Meter Readings

↓

Locate the Meter

↓

Open Meter Details

↓

Capture Reading

↓

Save

➜ See Meter Readings and Adding a Meter Reading for the full reading workflow and business rules — this page covers the mobile-specific parts only.

Offline Behaviour

Readings can be captured while offline. They're stored on the device and queued in the Sync Queue until the connection returns — see Offline Maps for the full sync flow.

Expected Behaviour

The module should:

  • Show the offline badge whenever the device has no connection.
  • Allow readings to be captured and saved while offline.
  • Queue offline readings for sync once connectivity returns.
