This is a tool that is located on the HPMS Validations section of the Validations tab.
Function
The Sample Sections and TOPS Validations interface () provides options to validate samples and TOPS items (Functional System, Urban Code, Facility Type, Through Lanes, and AADT).
Controls
This interface hosts the Data Table dropdown control, alongside these controls:
| Control | Used To... |
| "Select the locations to check" Radio Button | Create a statewide report or a report for results at a specific location. If the user selects the Specific Location option, the Parish, System Code, Route Name, Direction, Feature Type, and Sequence # picklists become available. The LRS ID textbox also becomes available. The user can choose to select options from the picklists OR fill the LRS ID textbox. |
| "Select the validation to run" Options | Provide options for 5 different Sample Sections and TOPS validation reports. |
| Output Controls | Open the report in a PDF format or in a new pop-up window. |
| Columns Missing Link |
Display a list of columns that are missing which prevent the reports from running. If all necessary columns are present in the selected Data table, this message will not appear. NOTE: The Verify Sample Coverage report is the only report that can be processed without all necessary columns. |
Report Types
There are five report types found under the "Select the validation to run" section.
- Verify Sample Length: Validates if sample sections meet the suggested length guidelines.
- Verify Sample Coverage: Validates if sample sections contain the required data items for reporting. The report can also include data items that are optional for reporting if the user selects the "Include Optional Sample Panel Data Items" checkbox.
- Check for Homogenous TOPS: Validates that the five TOPS items are homogeneous across entire sample sections.
- Invalid Sample Location: Validates if sample sections are on valid route segments.
- Verify TOPS Coverage: Validates if the five TOPS items are present on sample sections.
To the right of each validation option is a question mark. This symbol will provide an explanation of the function of each report directly in the interface. Users can consult this pop-up or the help guide for a reminder on each type's function.
