Capital Needs List

Parent Previous Next

TransAM lets you perform capital planning across twelve successive fiscal years. Your capital needs list is simply a list of all the projects within this planning cycle.


You can filter the list using the Activity Line Item filter in the upper right corner of the main menu. TransAM additionally provides displays to analyze the distribution of costs and to identify funding clusters.


Like asset data, capital projects are displayed in both data tables (with one row per project, and one data item per column), and a detailed “drill down” view. When capital projects are shown in tables, you see a combination of data related to the characteristics of the project (Fiscal year, Name, Scope, etc.) and financial data (Total Cost, State, Federal, Local, etc.). Hover over a row's 'i' tooltip to see a summary of the project's ALIs.


In the detail view, project data is organized in a series of tabs. Complete the following steps to navigate from the table view to a project detail page.


1. From the Main Menu, choose Policies -> Capital Projects.

2. Click a row in the table to navigate to the detail page for the capital project.


The tabs you see in the detail view include the following:
