What is the workflow?

The workflow is the steps taken in the HPMS Manager application for actions-based processes. These steps help the user understand the progression of the application, essential tasks, and covered actions on the software.

What are the steps?

There are seven steps in the HPMS Manager workflow. It is very common for this workflow, or its particular steps, to be executed many times during the submittal process for any given year.

1. Build a Data Table -- HPMS Manager combines and segments all necessary data into a single table with direction from the user for processing validations, edits, and reporting. 
2. Populate Report -- This report allows users to identify issues with the source data used in the Data Table creation prior to use in other systems and processes.
3. Validations -- This functionality allows the user to validate data in a Data Table according to very specific and detailed FHWA requirements. 
4. Edit Data -- This functionality allows the user to address and correct data issues found as a result of Validations.
5. Sample Adequacy -- HPMS Manager’s Sample Adequacy module allows the user to verify that the data is adequately sampled and to address issues of over or under sampling. 
6. Standard Reports -- This functionality allows the user to verify and report certified public road mileage through preconfigured reports. 
7. Submittals and Summaries -- This functionality allows the user to create submittal and summary files to submit to the FHWA.

Help Guide Setup

The LADOTD workflow portion of the Help Guide has a section dedicated to each step above. However, the Populate Report step will be combined with the Build a Data Table step due to their close association; articles for both steps will be located under the "Build a Data Table" section.
