Maintaining Project Counties

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 Counties tab on the Project Summary component contains a rolling list of all the counties associated with the project. Each row contains a Delete button and current values for the following fields:

To change information in a county record, click anywhere in that row. The system highlights the row in blue. You can add or change the values in any field. If you change the County ID, the system automatically updates the corresponding county description.

To delete a county, select Delete from the Actions menu on the county row. The system shades the row gray to indicate it is marked for deletion. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

Click the Save button to apply your changes to the system. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

Adding Counties to the Project

To add a new county to the project, click the New button on the Counties tab. The system adds a new row at the bottom of the rolling list of counties. All fields in the new row are blank. To create a complete project county record, you must enter information in the County ID and Percentage fields.

When you add counties, you must adjust the values in the Percentage fields so that the sum for all counties is 100.

When there are multiple counties in a project, one must be selected as the primary county. You can specify the primary county by selecting the Primary check box in the appropriate county record. If a primary county is not selected, the system automatically selects the county with the largest percentage when you save the record.

When you are finished maintaining county information, click the Save button to apply your changes to the system. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.
