Both the Select from Map and the Basic Editor icons will be located in the Data Editing section on the Edit Tab. 

Select from Map

When Select from Map () is chosen, the user can click anywhere on the map to open a picklist of routes near the selected location. After selecting a route from this list, the user can open the Basic Editor tool by clicking the "Basic Editor" link at the bottom of the "Identity Route Results" pop-up.

Basic Editor

While the Basic Editor can be accessed through the Select from Map pop-up, it can also be accessed directly through the Basic Editor icon (). The Basic Editor interface is used to search, create, and update data in the HPMS Data Tables. The interface is divided into 4 sections: (1) Required Information, (2) Data Items, (3) Button Controls, and (4) Expand and Collapse Controls. 

(1) Required Information

The Required Information section of the interface is used to specify which HPMS Overlay data and data items will be displayed in the table. This interface hosts the Data Table dropdown control, alongside these controls:

(2) Data Items

The Data Items table will display data for the full extent of the selected route. This table is used for viewing and editing these data items. It consists of four static columns (Parish, Route ID, From Measure, and To Measure) and additional columns characteristic of the chosen Edit Group. The Data Table connects to the Map interface through the table rows. When a row in the table is clicked, the map will zoom in and highlight the corresponding segment in the Map Frame. When the segment is clicked, the map will zoom to the feature and highlight the corresponding row in the table.

The Data Table also indicates where gaps exist in the selected route in its effort to display the full extent of a route. Records will be inserted into the table indicating where gaps begin and end; these will not be editable.

Data Items can be edited by clicking in the desired cell in the table, prompting picklists or textboxes to appear. After performing edits, the row will be checked for validation errors. If a new value fails a validation check, an Error icon () will appear in the Error icon column (second column). Hovering over an error icon will display a description of the error.

Rows can be deleted by clicking the checkboxes in the first column of the table and selecting the “Delete Selected Rows” link. Changes to the table cannot be saved if new gaps or overlaps are created by deleting or adding a new row.

(3) Button Controls

The following controls are provided in this section of the Basic Editor:

Icons	Name	Used To...
	Save to Source	Commit changes to original source data items.
	Add Row	Insert a row into the table. New rows will appear at the top of the table.
	Delete Selected Rows	Delete a row or rows from the table. The records that will be deleted must be selected in the first column of the table.
	Save Changes	Save changes to the HPMS Overlay.
	Discard Changes	Discard changes since the last save operation.
	Status Log	Display a log of changes, errors, or updates during the edit session.

(4) Expand and Collapse Controls

The Basic Editor can be expanded and collapsed using the Maximize and Minimize buttons in the top right corner of the data table. If the Basic Editor is expanded (), it will fill the entire screen. If it is collapsed (), the only trace of the Basic Editor will be displayed in a singular bar at the bottom of the screen, with the Required Information portion shown.
