Maintaining Season Information

Season records are reference data that indicate the start and end dates for each season. Your agency can create as many seasons as needed, as long as the dates do not overlap. Seasons can be used to characterize and filter historical bid data according to the season of the year when bids were received. Seasons are used when retrieving bid-based regression pricing using a bid history profile.

When you click the Seasons link in the Reference Data component, the system takes you to the Season Overview component where you can add, change, and delete season reference information. Type criteria in the Quick Find search box to locate the reference season you want to work with, or click Show first 10.

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

You can change the value in the Obsolete Date field if needed. Click in the field and add, change, or delete the date.

To delete a season record, select Delete from the Actions menu on the season's row. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

When you are finished making changes, click the Save button to apply your changes (including deleted information). The system displays a message that confirms your changes were saved.

To view or change additional information in a season record, click the Season link, or select Open from the Actions menu on the season row to go to the Season Summary component. For more information, see Maintaining a Season.

To add a new reference season, select Add from the Actions menu on the Season Overview component header. The system takes you to the Add Season component. For more information, see Adding a Reference Season.
