Certificates Dashboard Introduction

Welcome to the M-RETS!

In this article, we are going to look at an overview of the Certificates Dashboard.

Your Certificates Dashboard view should look something like this. Please note, your tabs on the left may vary.

Each tab within the Certificates Dashboard will display relevant data and information pertaining to your certificates.

You will see options to change from ‘Active’,’ Retired’, or ‘Market’. Below these buttons, you will see the total RECs under each status within your organization.

The Table

The main source of data is the RECs table. In the table, you will notice the following columns by default:

• Account: Where the RECs are currently located.
• Account ID: The ID assigned to an account in the M-RETS database.
• M-RETS ID: The identification number of the generator.
• Organization
• Generator: The name of the generator.
• Fuel Type: The Fuel type of the generator associated with the RECs.
• Vintage: The month and year that generation occurred.
• Generation Start: The start date of the generation RECS were issued for.
• Generation End Date: The end date of the generation that RECS were issued for.
• Location: The location of your generator.
• Type: The type of certificate, most likely REC.
• Eligibility: This column will display for which programs these RECs are eligible.
• Quantity: The number of RECs issued.
• Serial Numbers: The serial number of certificates.

You will also see a ‘Details’ button which provides a condensed version of the information in the table. Lastly, you may see a ‘Generation’ button which provides the user with a data visualization of the generation corresponding to their RECs.

The Table: Rearranging Columns

If you prefer a different layout of columns, select the header and drag it to a new location. 

The Table: Filtering

You will notice inside each column label the text: ‘Filter…‘.This feature is for limiting what is shown in the column. Example: If I only wanted to see my solar RECs, I could select the filter under ‘Fuel Type’ and select ‘Solar’.
