NOTE FOR ROAD COMMISSIONS:  Many of the Road Commissions have their roads listed in RoadSoft.  Instead of entering every single road in your county in the system, it may be easier to download your roads from RoadSoft software into the Call Log System.  You will need to CONTACT A MEMBER OF THE COGITATE SUPPORT TEAM for help on how to do this.

 

To add a new road name, click the New button.    Enter the Full name of the road.  If you would like a shortened version of the road name to appear in Pro Fund Accounting, you may enter it in the Name field (without directional notations or words like "road, trail", etc.).  If applicable, enter a Road prefix or Road suffix of up to 2 characters.

 

Enter up to 4 characters to identify the road Type.  You can make up your own system of letters/numbers.  Examples:  GRAV=Gravel or G=Gravel; PAVE+Paved or P=Paved; SEAL=Sealcoat or S=Sealcoat; BIT=Bituminous or B=Bituminous.

 

If you need to specify road segments, then click the Add road segment button.  Enter information to indicate the location of the segment.  You can enter the Begin and End values to indicate building numbers.  You can also enter names of intersecting roads at the beginning (From road) and ending (To road) of the segment.

 

Enter the City or Township the road segment is located in.  (NOTE:  If a City or Township is using this, you could leave this blank since all of your roads are in your one City/Township.  This field is used more for Road Commissions that have roads throughout many Townships.)

 

When you are finished, click the Save button.    A success message window will appear.  Click OK.

 

If you need to make changes or add road segments to a road that already exists in the system, use the Search window to locate the road name.  Make the changes or additions, then click the Save button.    A success message window will appear.  Click OK.  If you are making changes to multiple roads, you can also use the navigation buttons.   to move to the next road in the list.
