These dropdowns are located on the Main Menu to the right of the Location dropdown. The "Safety" dropdown will only be visible if the user is logged in and has permissions for it.

Overview

The Projects, Road Inventory, Traffic, Bridges, Pavement, Rail, TSI, and Safety* dropdowns provide expanded search parameters for the respective business datasets. These dropdowns can be used individually (i.e. only define a search using parameters from a singular category) or simultaneously. As search parameters are entered, a Criteria pop-up will be displayed on the right side of the screen, showing the combination of factors selected. This information can still be modified (picklists, textboxes, or lists) or removed (X) in the Criteria pop-up. After all desired parameters are selected in the dropdowns, the user can click the blue "search" button on the pop-up; this will toggle the map to the records that fit these categories and open summary data boxes. An example picture is shown below, with the search parameters of Project Status = Active (Projects) and AADT > 10,000 (Traffic) shown.

Criteria Pop-Up

There are some controls hosted in the Criteria pop-up. The image below shows these controls in red boxes.

Hide Criteria

If the user wishes to hide the criteria for the search while they view the result data, they can click the "Hide Criteria" link. Then, the search parameters, Search button, and "Save Search" link will be hidden from view. The link will then change to say "Show Criteria" which the user can click if they wish to view the search criteria once more.

Search

The Search button allows the user to view the results related to the search parameters. These parameters will be listed above the search button.

Save Search

To save a search and store it in the Load Search interface, the user can click the Save Search link on the Criteria pop-up. Once the link is clicked, the user can enter a Search Name, check/uncheck "Others Can View," and click the Save Button. Then, the user should be able to access the search in Load Search. This link will not be available to guest users, so the user must log in to utilize this functionality.

Hide Results

If the user wishes to hide the results while they view the criteria and mapped items, they can click the "Hide Results" link. Then, the summary data boxes, "Details" link, and "View Tabular Format" link will be hidden from view. The link will then change to say "Show Results" which the user can click if they wish to view the search results once more.

Summary Data Boxes

The summary data boxes can be used to navigate to specific records. By clicking on a box, the map will zoom to the selected record and highlight the feature in yellow on both the map and the list. The user can also hover over a mapped record to view its Project ID.

Details Pop-Up

In the summary data boxes, the user can click the Details link to open the Details pop-up. As indicated by the name, the Details pop-up gives more information on the selected record. In the pop-up, internal tabs will be available based on the dropdowns used for the search. The example below shows a Details pop-up for the previously mentioned search set: Project Status = Active (Projects) and AADT > 10,000 (Traffic). The internal tabs, with names reflecting the dropdown used, are indicated in red. If multiple dropdowns are used, multiple internal tabs will be available. Search parameters selected in the Location dropdown will not have their own internal tab.

Project Family

The "Project Family" link can be found near the top of the Details pop-up. When the link is clicked, another pop-up window opens to display Project IDs, Project Types, and FA Numbers for all projects in the same family. All Project IDs are links that lead to the project's details.

View Related Documents

The "View Related Documents" link can be found to the right of the "Project Family" link. When the link is clicked, another pop-up window opens to display related documents retrieved from ALDOT’s eDocs Document Management System. All documents are links that lead to the associated document in another browser window.

View Tabular Format

The View Tabular Format interface shows a combination of the information on the summary data boxes and the Detail pop-up. When the "View Tabular Format" link is clicked, an Excel sheet will be downloaded with the applicable data.
