February 21

Outage Management Improvements

1. When performing a partial restoration of an outage by populating restore steps, it determines the number of meters restored & the outage is updated on the map & public outage map to reflect the partial restoration.
2. Adding a restore step, it shows the number of devices downstream of the restored device and subtract them from the total number of devices downstream of the outage device when a specific device is restored. 
3. Updating the map: if there's no restore time, the full outage shows on the map. The outage on the map reflects restore steps that have partially restored an outage.
4. Individual meters that have been restored will no longer be blinking.
5. On the interrupting device - it shows how many meters were originally affected, as well as how many are still out.
6. The number of affected customers is the current count - only customers that have not yet been restored.

    -The number of customers affected display the current number of customers out, as well as have the original count displayed

    - Meters that are no longer out stop blinking on the map.
