Maintaining County Information

A county is an administrative division of a U.S. state. The system uses the county in which the work is to be performed as an essential part of the project record.

The County Overview component includes a row for every county in your state, and is therefore unique to your agency. When you click the Counties link in the Reference Data component, the system takes you to the Reference County Overview component where you can add, change, and delete information contained in reference county rows.

Type criteria in the Quick Find search box to locate the county row you want to maintain, or click Show first 10.

The system displays a list of row for all the counties in the system that match your search criteria. Each row contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

You can add or change the Description or Obsolete Date.

To add a new reference county to the system, select Add from the Actions menu on the component header. The system takes you to the Add County component. See Adding a Reference County for more information.

To delete a reference county, select Delete from the Actions menu on the county row. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

Note: You cannot delete a county that is currently associated with an active project.

When you are finished, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved.
