The "Add Special Project" interface allows the user to create new projects. When this icon is selected in the "Special Projects" section of the Project Sites tab, this pop-up will appear:
Once this screen is viewable, the user can enter information about the new location manually or by utilizing the icon tools. The sections below detail these options.
Manual
If the user decides to manually enter information about the new location, they will be utilizing the available textboxes and picklists. When the user first enters the interface, only the County, Project Date, and Remarks fields are editable. The other fields will be enabled as information is inputted. It follows this logic:
- An inputted County value enables the first Route # picklist.
- An inputted Route # Type enables the second Route # picklist.
- An inputted Route # enables the Direction and Location fields.
Icon Tools
If the user wishes to visually select locations on the map, they will be utilizing the available world icons (). The "Route" icon must be used first to enable the "Location" icon.
Using the Route Icon
To select a location, the user should first zoom into the desired location on the map before clicking the Route icon. Once a route is in view, the user can select the Route icon (), click the route on the map, then select which nearby route is needed from the pop-up list. The "show" link will capture the selected route's County, Route #, and Direction and display it in the "Add Special Project" interface. Then, the user can select the Location icon (
); this action will highlight the entire route in blue to allow the user to pinpoint a position on that route as the project's specific location.
Other Fields/Tools
For either information-entering option, the user can edit these fields/tools:
| Field/Tool | Description |
| Project Date | This field will capture the current date as the project's date; however, the user can edit this value manually through the textbox. |
| Remarks | This field allows the user to make comments on the added project. |
| Link Documents | This tool allows the user to link documents to the new project. Once clicked, a pop-up will appear where documents can be added or deleted using the links. |
| Save Changes | This tool allows the user to save all the changes made since the last save. |
| Discard Changes | This tool allows the user to discard any changes made since the last save. |
After Saving
Once the user saves a new project, a message will be displayed, confirming that the save was successful. The user will also be given the option to add counters to this project. If "Yes," the user will be taken from this interface to the "Add Stations" interface with the newly created project pre-selected. The user can then select a project type counter and pick a project to associate to that counter. Once a project is selected, the county and route information will be prefilled with the selected projects information.
