All devices belonging to the system and supports "Consumption metering" functionality can be configured as a main electrometer. This is usually a device (for example, a prime electricity meter) that stays at the entrance to your property's electricity net, but there could be more devices (sockets, couplers, etc.) which total consumption value gives you the total.
When changing the configuration from a main to a local electrometer and vice versa, the statistics accumulated so far do not change.
