This is a tool that is located on the Section Files portion of the Submittals tab.
Function
The Arnold Segments interface () provides options to generate Route outputs in Shapefile, File Geodatabase, or Text File directly from the HPMS Manager product.
Controls
This interface hosts the Data Table dropdown control, alongside these controls:
| Control | Used To... |
| Version Textbox | Show the selected version; cannot be edited. |
| File Type Dropdown | Select Shapefile, File Geodatabase, or Text File as the output format. |
| Network Name Textbox | Show the selected network; cannot be edited. |
| Generate Files By Picklist | Choose between outputting all routes, a certain route type, or selected routes. |
| Export Data Button | Generate a Shapefile, File Geodatabase, or Text File in a downloadable zip file. |
Generate Files By
As indicated above, the user has three options in the Generate Files By picklist: All Routes, Route Type, and Select Route(s). When "All Routes" is selected, there are no additional selections that must be made; the user can simply generate the submittal file. However, the other two options-- Route Type and Select Route(s)-- will trigger the appearance of additional criteria to be filled.
Route Type
When "Route Type" is selected, checkboxes will appear below the picklist. The user must select at least one route type checkbox before generating the submittal file. The user can select the checkboxes manually or by using the Select All link which automatically checks all displayed boxes.
Select Route(s)
When "Select Route(s)" is chosen, these tools will display below the picklist to allow the user to pinpoint specific routes to generate the file by.
At least the Route Type and Route Number fields must be filled in order to add a route. The County field is an optional, and the Direction field will automatically be filled with a value once the Route Number is specified (but can be altered if desired). Once a route is specified, the "Add Route" button can be clicked to place the route in the box on the righthand side. The user can specify multiple routes before generating the file.
To remove a route selection, the user can click on the route (ID) in the box, then click the "Remove Route(s)" button. Multiple routes can be removed at once by holding "Shift", clicking the desired IDs, then selecting the button. This action removes the route(s) from the box and from the impending file generation.
Output
The File Types-- Shapefile, File Geodatabase, and Text File-- produce specific fields in their outputs. The table below outlines their characteristic fields.
| File Type | Fields |
| Shapefile and File Geodatabase | For R&H route data sources, the output will include these fields required by FHWA: BeginDate and StateID. |
| Text File | For file data sources, the output will include these fields required by FHWA: BeginDate, StateID, RouteID, BeginPoint, EndPoint, and IsDiv. |
