This is a tool that is located on the Sample Adequacy section of the Sample Adequacy tab.
Function
The Adjust TOPS interface () is used to find small segments where the five TOPS data items do not align at exact measures. This interface is divided into three tabs: Summary, Detail, and Changes.
Tab Descriptions
The Summary Tab is used to identify segments where TOPS data items do not align at exact measures.
The Details Tab is used to compare the number of TOPS locations and number of required samples from the original TOPS set against the number of TOPS locations and number of required samples from the modified TOPS set per Functional System, Urban Code, and Volume Group stratum.
The Changes tab is used to identify where the five TOPS data items do not align at exact measures and what their new values will be if the modified data set is saved.
Tab Sections
All three tabs (Summary, Detail, and Changes) host similar sections on their interfaces. Those sections are:
(1) Data Table Information
The Data Table Information section contains general information about the currently selected Data Table. This section hosts the Data Table and Year dropdown controls.
(2) Data To Adjust
The Data To Adjust section is used to define how segments will be merged. It has some important controls:
| Control | Used To... |
| Statewide/Parish Radio Buttons | Adjust the data for the entire state or by individual parish. |
| Parent TOPS Data Item Precedence List | Specify the order for obtaining attribute values that will determine how small segments will be merged into adjacent segments (up/down arrows). |
| Measure Tolerance Textbox | Specify the maximum segment length to merge; includes feet/miles picklist. |
| View TOPS Changes Button (Summary Section ONLY) | Process the selected TOPS dataset by assessing which segments will merge based on the measure tolerance and precedence set. |
(3) TOPS Changes Summary
This portion hosts a table, or a visual representation of the data generated from the Data Table and Data To Adjust inputs. Each table is slightly different depending on the chosen tab.
(4) Button Controls
The bottom of the interface hosts two button controls:
| Control | Used To... |
| Update TOPS | Update the selected HPMS Data Table and TOPS table with the modified TOPS set. |
| Cancel | Exit out of Adjust TOPS without committing changes. |
Workflow
The actions and flow between these tabs are described in the Workflow portion of the Help Guide. Click here to see how these controls interact on the Adjust TOPS interface.
