The Data Inventory is your central repository for all utility data in Nectar. From here you can browse, search, filter, and manage every bill, account, and meter across your portfolio.

Main views

The Data Inventory is organized into three main views, each accessible from the top-level navigation or the cards below.

Bills

Browse processed utility bills with charges, usage data, and original documents.

Accounts

Manage utility accounts, track billing status, and view associated meters.

Meters

View physical utility meters, usage history, and identifier mappings.

​
Common table features

All three views share a consistent table interface with the following capabilities:

​
Filtering

Open the filter bar above any table to narrow results. Each view offers filters relevant to its records — for example, site, utility type, date range, connection, and status. Filters can be combined, appear as removable chips, and are preserved in the page URL so you can bookmark or share a filtered view.

​
Location filters

The Street, Zipcode, and Country filters are available on the Bills, Accounts, Meters, and Sites tables. Each is a text filter with two match modes: A bill, account, or meter doesn’t always carry its own address — the address often lives on a site or on the meters underneath it. So when you filter by location, Nectar looks beyond the row itself and searches the records it’s connected to: A row matches if any of its connected records matches. For example, filtering Accounts by Street = Adelaide returns an account when any of its meters — or the sites those meters sit on — has “Adelaide” in its street address.
Location filters also scan the full address text, so records that don’t yet have a cleanly separated street, zipcode, and country are still found by a matching word or value. Because of this, the Is (exact) mode can still match an address line that contains your value rather than equals it.

How changes affect your data

Your data objects are all connected. When you change something in one place, it affects what you see elsewhere.
Changes take effect immediately in analytics and future exports. Exports you have already downloaded are not retroactively updated — they reflect the data as it was at the time of export.
  • Data Input — the three methods for getting data into the inventory
  • Data Quality — review flagged bills and completeness gaps
  • Analytics — visualize inventory data as charts and trends
  • Sites — site-centric view of bills, accounts, and meters
  • Glossary — definitions for every entity, field, and concept in Nectar
  • Methodology — how Nectar processes bills and organizes data into meters and sites

FAQ

An account represents a utility account number — the billing relationship between your company and a utility provider. A meter represents a physical metering device at a site. One account can have multiple meters. For example, a single electric account might cover two meters at different parts of a facility.
Yes. You can delete bills from the bills table using bulk actions (select rows and click Delete) or from an individual bill’s detail page using the Delete action in the toolbar.
Bills, accounts, and meters are created automatically when data flows through any of the three Data Input methods: connections, uploads, or manual entry. You can also create bills and usage data manually from within the inventory.
