Fixing Gaps

The user will have the ability to locate and correct the apparent gaps by following these steps:

  1. Fill in all filters (Event, Statewide/County, and Route Types) to find gaps within the specified parameters.
  2. Click the “Find Gaps” button to the right of the filters. The table on the lower half of the interface will then update to reflect the gaps found in the event data.
  3. Resolve gaps in the table by clicking into a cell under the event column (shows name of the selected event) and filling in an appropriate value.
  4. After resolving the desired segments, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the interface to update the data table. To update the source data, check the “Save data to source” before saving changes.
