  6. If you have multiple meters associate to your Push account, and you would like to add them all at once, click the "Add All" button. This will give you a list of all the meters associated with the Push User Key (if some of the meters are already entered into Dash they will not be listed. Keep the checkboxes checked next to the meters you want to add and click OK.
