Navigate to Data Quality > Issues to open the triage inbox — a dedicated workspace for reviewing and resolving data quality issues on your bills and meters.

Triage inbox

The Individual triage view uses a split-pane layout:
  • Left panel — A scrollable list of records (bills or meters) that have open issues. Each row shows key identifiers, site, and a primary issue-type badge with the detail underneath.
  • Right panel — When you select a record, the right panel fills with the full-pane bill document preview (or, for meter-anchored issues, a meter context view that flips through the bills observed on that meter). A collapsible context rail anchored to the right edge surfaces what the system found, the verdict, suggested actions, and supporting evidence. A sticky footer dock at the bottom shows the active issue’s severity and a Resolve dropdown.
When you’re elsewhere in the platform (a bill page, a meter page) and an issue applies, an inline alert with a View action opens the same investigation in an Issue sheet — the same content as the right pane, in a slide-over that overlays the current page.

Filtering

Use the filter bar at the top to narrow the list:
  • Status — Toggle between Open (default), Resolved, or All issues
  • Issue type — Filter by one of the six top-level issue categories (Inference, Duplicates, Account match, Meter issues, Unusable bill, Other)
  • Site, Connection, Utility provider, Bill date, Created date, and more — add from the + Add filter menu

Issue types

Nectar automatically detects these issue types during bill and meter processing. Issues are organized into two flag levels:

Action required

These issues indicate a problem that needs resolution before the data can be trusted in analytics and exports.
Issue typeDescription
Potential duplicateThis bill may be a duplicate of another bill in your portfolio.
Potential usage duplicateUsage data on this bill may overlap with another bill.
Unmatched accountThe bill could not be matched to a known utility account.
Non-utility billThe document does not appear to be a utility bill.
No usage dataNo consumption data was found on this bill.
Illegible billThe document is too hard to read for reliable data extraction.
Account/meter mismatchAccount and meter identifiers on the bill do not agree.

Review and verify

These issues flag bill data that was inferred rather than extracted directly. The data may be correct, but you should verify it.
Issue typeDescription
Assumed container sizeContainer size couldn’t be extracted from a bill and defaulted. Anchored to the meter when a new meter is created — confirm against connection notes or your team, then update the meter or dismiss.
Date inferredBilling dates were inferred rather than read from the document.
Units inferredUsage units were inferred. Verify they are correct.

Meter issues

These issues are anchored to a meter rather than a bill, and surface when a meter’s location can’t be matched confidently.
Issue typeDescription
Low confidence site matchThe meter was matched to a site with low confidence. Confirm or reassign the meter to the correct site.
Low confidence addressThe meter’s address couldn’t be normalized confidently. Confirm or edit the address.

Resolving issues

Select a record in the left panel to open the investigation in the right panel. The footer dock at the bottom of the panel surfaces the active issue’s severity (red for action-required, amber for review-and-verify, blue for informational) and a Resolve dropdown driven by that issue’s resolution config:
  • Compare duplicates — Opens a side-by-side document comparison for potential duplicates
  • Assign account / Assign site — Reassign a bill or meter to the correct account or site
  • Edit dates / units / container / address — Open a focused editor to correct inferred or missing values
  • Apply suggestion — When the context rail surfaces a strong suggested value (e.g. units the system is confident about), an Apply: <value> link prefills the edit dialog so you only have to confirm
  • Dismiss — Mark the issue as resolved with an optional note explaining why
  • Delete record — Permanently remove the record if it should not be in your portfolio
  • Report to support — Send the issue to the Nectar team for further investigation
After resolving all issues on a record, the triage inbox automatically advances to the next record with open issues.

Bulk resolution

To resolve the same issue type across multiple records at once:
1

Select records

Use the checkboxes in the left panel to select two or more records.
2

Choose action

A floating action bar appears at the bottom. Click Bulk actions and choose the issue type to resolve, or Export… to download an XLSX of the selected issues.
3

Confirm

Review the summary of affected records and issues. Add an optional resolution note, then confirm.

Grouped triage and Overview

The Grouped triage view and the Issues Overview are currently available to internal Nectar admins only. Standard customer access is to the Individual triage view described above.
In addition to the per-record Individual view, the Issues module exposes two complementary surfaces for spotting patterns:
  • Grouped triage — Switches the triage page to roll issues up by connection, account, datasource (utility provider), or site, depending on which issue type is in scope. For example, hundreds of duplicate flags might collapse into a handful of connections that share the same root cause; a verdict-driven footer lets you act on the entire selection at once. The grouped view requires an Issue Type filter to be set so the rollup stays focused.
  • Overview — A dashboard of tiles at /data-quality/issues/overview summarizing open issues across the portfolio: a stat strip (open / action-required / resolved), a per-type breakdown, top utility providers and top sites by open-issue volume, and quick links into Triage and the Issues settings page.

What happens when issues are resolved?

  • The record is no longer flagged in your data inventory
  • The record’s data is included in analytics dashboards and exports (records with open issues are excluded by default)
  • The resolution is recorded in the audit log with the user who resolved it and any notes
