ALI Filter Menu

When working with functionality relating to capital projects it is often useful to look at a subset of projects (or more accurately a subset of Activity Line Items). TransAM has a special filter that enables the user to filter views to only show certain sets of ALIs. Some filters are created by default while others can be added by users. The filter is identified by the name of the currently selected filter (often "All ALIs") and is located on the right side of the Main Menu next to the search menu. Change your ALI filter by clicking the filter drop-down. The menu will appear with two panels:

On the left is a list of available ALIs. Click the desired filter to update the view to reflect the selection.
On the right is the option to manage existing filters or create a new filter.

The list of default filters is as follows:

Name	Description
All ALIs	All ALIs across all the agencies set in your organization filter
Vehicles	Revenue and Support Vehicles
Equipment	Maintenance, IT, Facility, Office or Communications Equipment, and Signals/Signs
Facilities	Stations/Stops/Terminals and Support Facilities
Rail and Locomotive	Rail Cars and Locomotives
Backlog Assets	ALIs with assets in Backlog
Planning Year ALIs	ALIs with assets to be replaced in the current planning year
Shared Ride Assets	ALIs with assets with FTA Mode Type Demand Response
Agency Funded	ALIs funded with local funds

When creating new ALI filters, you must enter a filter name and description. You can then select from a variety of filter parameters. Parameters include: Type, SOGR, Scope, Project Location, Asset Type, Asset Subtype, Owner, Funding, Backlog Status, and Not Fully Funded Status.

Note that the ALI filter only updates the views on relevant screens. Relevant screens include:

Capital Projects (Policies menu -> Capital Projects)
Project Planner (Policies menu -> Project Planner)
Fund Projects (Funding menu -> Fund Projects)
