The Special Events Data Maintenance interface allows the user to manage special event information for each permanent site in the state. Special events are instances where some event has caused traffic counts to be unusual for the site during a particular time frame. Some examples of special events are counter malfunctions, severe weather, flooding, sporting events, or construction.

Filters

To filter the interface, the user can utilize these tools:

When the "View by Special Events" radio button is selected, the interface will look like the former image. If the user selects "View by CCS," the interface will change to look similar to this:

View by Special Events

The "View by Special Events" setup has a focus on the special event rather than the permanent site. In this view, the table is filtered by Begin Date descending. There are a few actions the user can take in this view:

1. View and edit the CCS number for a listed special event.
2. Print the Special Events table.
3. Delete a special events entry.
4. Add a new special event entry to the table.

Each of these actions are described in the sections below.

View/Edit CCS Number

To view and/or edit the CCS number for a special event, the user can click the hyperlink in the "CCS" column for the desired special event row. Once clicked, a pop-up will appear like the example below.

The current CCS number, if one exists, will appear in the Selected CCS box. To change the CCS number associated with the special event or add another CCS number to the special event, the arrow controls can be utilized. There are four arrow controls:

Arrow Control	Description
	Moves a selected CCS number from the "Available CCS" to the "Selected CCS" box.
	Moves all CCS numbers from the "Available CCS" to the "Selected CCS" box.
	Moves a selected CCS number from the "Selected CCS" to the "Available CCS" box.
	Moves all CCS numbers from the "Selected CCS" to the "Available CCS" box.

Multiple CCS numbers can be associated to a special event. These values will be separated in the table by commas.

To save any changes on the CCS pop-up, the user can click "Save Changes." Then, a message will appear to confirm the successful save.

Print Table

To print the Special Events table, the user can utilize the print link in the lower righthand corner of the interface. All listed special events for the selected year will print when this link is clicked; the format of the printed version mirrors the interface's table. The image below shows an example of the printed version.

Delete Special Event

To delete a special event, the user can select the desired checkbox(es) on the table. Then, the "Delete Selected" link can be clicked.

Add New Special Event

To add a special event to the table, the user can select the "Add New" link. Then, a blank row will be added to the bottom of the table for the user to enter information about the new special event. The "Begin Date" and "End Date" fields are both a calendar select and textbox, the Event Description field is a textbox, and the Restrictions field is a picklist. The user cannot enter the associated CCS number when creating a new special event, so this will have to be assigned later.

View by CCS

The "View by CCS" setup has general permanent site information on the top of the interface and special event information at the bottom. In this view, the table is sorted by CCS number ascending. The user must select a table row to display that permanent site's special event information. The Special Events table will have some of the same columns as the table in "View by Special Events"-- Begin Date, End Date, Event Description, and Restrictions-- with one additional column type: Lanes.

The user can also add and delete special events in this view. To add a special event, the user must first select a row in the upper table. Once a row is selected, the user can select the "Add New" link to create a blank row in the next available space on the lower table. The user can then type (textbox) or select (calendar select or picklist) values to fill in the new entry. To delete a special event, the user can select the desired checkbox(es) in the Special Event table, then click the "Delete Selected" link.

Save/Discard Changes

For any action taken on the interface, the user must select "Save Changes" to solidity the new, deleted, or edited values. The user may also choose to revert the fields to their original values by selecting "Discard Changes."
