Road Segment Header Data

At the top of the module window you will see header data. This data remains at the top of your screen as you use the tabs to navigate through the record. The header fields are described in the table below:

Field Name

Definition

Road Seg Rec ID

This field contains a database generated, unique ID

Alt Seg ID

This field allows you to create a unique, user-defined ID.

Description

This field allows you to provide a brief description of the road segment in this record.

Reference Post

(Beginning and Ending)

Reference Posts are generally recorded in miles and are also known as Mile Markers. These posts typically do not move when a portion of the road is contracted or expanded.

Current Station

(Beginning and Ending)

These two read-only fields are used by the system to reflect changes from the original stationing points (recorded on the Attributes tab). Changes are entered into the associated Roads record when a road is contracted or expanded. If changes have been made and are not yet reflected in these fields, you may need to run the "Update Stationing" Toolkit function in the Roads module. Follow the link for additional information.

Note: The Alt Seg ID is required in order to save the record.
