The HPMS Manager interface has 3 functional areas: (1) Map Frame, (2) Legend Menu, and (3) Tabs and Control Ribbon. Each of these are shown in the image below, with corresponding numbers to the list above.

Map Frame

The Map Frame is used to display the route network, HPMS data, validation results, and query results in graphic form. When the user initially opens the application, a map with state and parish boundaries is shown. A variety of controls for the Map Frame permit the user to zoom to an area of interest if desired.

Legend Menu

The Legend Menu displays a list of available map layers that can be turned on/off by clicking the appropriate checkbox. The legend menu is displayed or hidden by clicking the arrow control (carat) to its immediate right. 

Tabs and Controls Ribbon

The HPMS Manager interface has 8 tabs: Map, Edit, Validations, Sample Adequacy, Submittals, Reports, System Administration, and Help. Each tab contains a set of controls displayed in ribbon format. When a tab is selected, the corresponding set of controls is displayed. These controls are sectioned on the tab's ribbon by general function. For example, the Edit tab hosts thirteen controls that are categorized into four sections: Data Editing, Management, Data Cleaning, and Route Info. Similarly, the other seven tabs have controls which are categorized into sections. The image below shows the Edit tab and its format.
