The Program Targets internal tab is the second tab on the Budgets interface. The Program Targets tab contains the budget values for each program per year. As projects are funded through the life of the STIP, the total values funded for a particular program are compared to its corresponding budget. This allows the user to ensure a program is within the target budget for the year. Although this tab is only editable by users with permissions, it can be viewed by all users.
Filters
To filter the Program Targets tab, the two picklists at the top of the tab can be utilized. These fields allow the user to select a STIP and Year to alter the displayed data. Once a user has selected values, the system will automatically update the table's data.
Program Targets Table
Programs in the Program Targets table are grouped by Agency (i.e., RIDOT and RIPTA). Subtotals are displayed in the header rows for each Agency record. The bottom three rows-- Total Program Uses, Total Funding Sources, and Difference-- will remain static so that it is visible to the user at all times.
| Static Row | Description |
| Total Program Uses | This is the sum of Program totals for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance Remaining columns. |
| Total Funding Sources | This is the sum of Funding totals from the Fiscal Constraint tab for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance Remaining columns. |
| Difference | This is Total Funding Sources – Total Program Uses for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance Remaining columns. |
There are four columns on the table:
| Column | Description |
| Program | This field includes a unique description of the Program created through the "Add New" functionality. |
| Proposed Budget | This field contains the budget for the particular Program. For Summary and Total rows, this column is automatically calculated by the system. |
| Programmed Amount | This field is read-only and automatically calculated using the associated programmed funds for all projects with the selected Program. |
| Estimated Balance Remaining | This field is read-only and automatically calculated by the system using the following formula: Proposed Budget – Programmed Amount. |
Edit
For those with permissions, the Program Targets tab can be edited by clicking into the desired row. Once selected, the Proposed Budget field will be editable. This field is a textbox that can be used to type in a new value. If a new value is entered, the user can save it by selecting the "Save Changes" button or revert the fields to their former value by selecting the "Discard Changes" button.
Information can be edited further on the table by clicking the Program link for a row. Click here to learn more about modifying a program. Those with permissions can also add new programs to the table through the "Add New" link. Click here to learn more about adding programs.
