Tariff configuration: New user interface in the "Roaming-Hub Access control" tab

In the area of tariff configuration in be.ENERGISED, a performance improvement could be achieved in the tab "Roaming-Hub Access control" by adapting the UI. The tab is only available for EMP sales tariffs and EMP sales tariffs (managed by eMSP.OPERATIONS).

Where in be.ENERGISED can I find the tariff configuration?

In the Finance/Tariffs & invoicing/Rate management tab you can see the tariffs you have created. Select an EMP sales tariff by clicking on "Conditions". Now you are in the configuration menu of the tariff. Here you will also find the tab "Roaming-Hub Access control".

What was adjusted?

You will notice a noticeable improvement in the form of shortened charging times. This is due to the fact that the list of charging stations is now loaded page-based. 

Along with this, the usual "Show X records" field has been added. By default, 200 records are displayed per page. 

The display has also been extended with a search field. In this search field you can search for the charging station operator (CPO) and for the name of the charging station, but not for the address.

As noted above, the charging stations are now loaded on several pages. It should be noted that it is not possible to skip subsequent pages. That is, it is not possible to jump from page 1 to page 3. You can only go to the next page, i.e. from page 1 to page 2, from page 2 to page 3 and so on.

The reason for this is that when you skip pages, again performance would suffer because the pages in between also have to be loaded in the background.

It is possible to skip pages when going back to previous pages. For example, you can go from page 4 to page 1.

You will still find the "ACTIVATE ALL" and "DEACTIVATE ALL" button, which you can use to enable or disable all charging stations per charging station operator.

The "TOGGLE ALL" button is no longer available.

Why did this change take place in the UI?

With this customization, the "Roaming-Hub Access control" tab is much more performant. The search field also makes it easier for you to search for specific charging station operators or charging stations.
