When the Projects icon () is selected in the Manage tab, the General internal tab can be opened by clicking on a Project ID in the Projects tab. The General internal tab will be grayed out and inaccessible until a Project ID is selected.
Function
The General Tab contains generic attribute information about the project. The interface is divided into four sections: STIP Identity, GHG Tracking, Location, and Additional Information.
Look
The picture below shows an example of how the General Tab will look on the application.
Edit Sections
For projects originating from PINFO, the STIP Identity and Location sections are view-only and cannot be modified within the application. However, the GHG Tracking and Additional Information sections can be edited by selecting the field, entering the information, and clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen. For users with Transit Administrator permissions, all fields will be enabled and editable. The fields on the General tab are:

Routes
While the Routes field is read-only, the field name itself is a link. If the user selects the "Routes" link, a pop-up will appear on the screen that allows the user to select routes to associate to the project. The image below shows how the pop-up will appear on the application.
To add a route, the user will zoom in to the selected area on the map. Once the route is visible, the user can select the icon beside "Route" to enable the user to click the route they wish to associate. This will auto-populate the Route ID. Next, the user can select the
icon next to the From and To fields to click a begin and end point on the route. This will populate the From and To fields with the correct mile-points. Alternatively, the user can click the
icon to set the From to the route’s beginning mile-point, and the
to the route’s ending mile-point. If a user wishes to delete a route from the routes table, they can select the checkbox to the left of the record and click the "Delete" link. When completed, the user can select the "Save Routes" button, and the Route information will be captured and added to the Routes field on the General tab. Route updates will only be saved when the General tab is saved.
