From the second time onwards: GemMeter will only appear when there is an error found, and there are no further steps required.
How to Use GemMeter
After the initial app Onboarding process, the GemMeter icon will only appear when there is an error found on your landing page, following GemMeter Scoring rules.
GemMeter Status
