1. Electronic Reporting Wastewater: • Generating NetDMR in WIMS • Set up Metadata (Lab Cal/Additional Info) for CIWQS/eDMR • Best practices Phil Arndt – IIM Project Manager, Hach

2. NetDMR
WIMS can create a .txt the data you report through the Nation NetDMR system so that you can upload it on their website instead of typing it in
WIMS has a Locate ‘National NetDMR’ tool to make creating this report easier
The Help File shows how to map the fields to the old printed DMR
Example view of NetDMR webpage

3. metadata
