When the Budget option is selected in the System Administration list () on the Utility Bar, the user can navigate to the Program Targets tab if desired. It is the second tab on the interface.
Function
The Program Targets tab contains the budget values for each program per year. As projects are funded through the life of the STIP, the total values funded for a particular program are compared to its corresponding budget. This allows the user to ensure a program is within the target budget for the year. Although this tab is only editable by users with permission, all users can view it. Changes to Program Target values will not trigger a STIP Amendment or Administrative Modification; these budgeted values will be used for internal target management purposes only. There is also a Program Target report available from the Standard Reports module with similar information to this tab.
Filters
The user can filter the Program Target tab's data by using the STIP and Year picklists. These picklists allow the user to toggle between STIP versions and the Year within the STIP that they wish to view or edit. The default for the picklists will be the first year of the current STIP. However, once a user has selected options, the system will remember these selections for each module within the application. These options will continue to be saved for the next time the user enters the application as well. Once these filters are satisfactorily filled, the Program Targets table will be updated automatically.
Program Targets Table
The Program Targets table groups programs by Project Purpose values; each grouping has a header that outlines the Project Purpose and summary values for the program set. Programs can be related to one or more Project Purposes within the Program Targets table. These programs are navigable on the table through the scrollbar tool. The three total rows will remain static as the user scrolls.
| Total Row | Description |
| Total Program Uses | This is the sum of Program totals for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance Remaining columns. |
| Total Funding Sources | This is the sum of Funding totals from the Fiscal Constraint tab for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance Remaining columns. |
| Difference | This is (Total Funding Sources – Total Program Uses) for Proposed Budget, Programmed Amount, and Estimated Balance columns. |
The table header row will also be static on the Program Targets tab. The header is composed of four column types:
| Column | Description |
| Program | This field includes a description of the Program created through the "Add New functionality. |
| Proposed Budget | This field contains the budget for the particular Program. For summary and total rows, this column is automatically calculated by the system. |
| Programmed Amount | This field is read-only and automatically calculated using the associated programmed funds for all projects with the selected Project Purpose and Program. |
| Estimated Balance Remaining | This field is read-only and automatically calculated by the system using this formula: Proposed Budget – Programmed Amount. |
