The Counter Data Maintenance interface allows the user to view and maintain counter data specific to portable sites.
Filters
To view data on the Portable Site Counter Maintenance interface, the user can utilize the available query filters. There are three filters at the top of the interface: Select Year, County, and Station. Once the desired fields are filled, the user can select the "Find" button to display detailed information on the traffic site that matches the inputted criteria. If more than one site matches the entered query criteria, the arrows in the bottom right corner of the interface can be used to navigate through the results. If at any point there is a desire to clear the interface of all data, the "Reset" button can be selected.
If the user wishes to filter the interface based on more specific criteria, the "More Filters" link can be utilized. This link will lead to a pop-up that offers twelve more fields for filtering purposes. Once the desired criteria is entered, the "Find" button can be selected to show the related results in the table. The user can then scroll through the results to find the desired traffic site, click its row, and click the "Edit Selected" button to display this record on the Counter Maintenance screen.
Sections
The counter data for the displayed traffic site will be divided among six sections: Counter Location, Traffic Data, Growth Data, Other, Description, and Notes. These sections are composed of unique fields; some of these unique fields can be edited by the user on this interface. The table below lists the editable fields and their associated section. When any changes are made, the "Save Changes" button must be selected to solidify the new values.
