Projects

A Project is a collection of road segments where a specific road maintenance procedure is carried out by the Council under a specific road maintenance grant.

Note

As of PMS 6.1, users can create a project of any category besides Pavement without creating a project (linear) or auxiliary (point and/or polygon) geometry. Pavement projects must have a linear feature i.e. they cannot be saved with an auxiliary feature only.

Viewing Projects

Project and associated data can be viewed over three map layers. These layers are found in the Projects folder of the layer tree.

Project Groups

Nominal Links can created between projects by creating Project Groups.

Project Phases

Depending on a Project’s Type (see below), a project is subject to a specific phase logic described here.
