Note that this “Total Planned Cost” is the sum of user entered data values from within the PALT Tool, and is NOT the Total Planned Cost from the “County Mapping Activities” tab, which comes from the Sequencing Tool.

The “PALT Mapping Activity and Partners Report” reflects PALT data contained in the “County Mapping Activities” and “Activity Groupings” tabs of the PALT Tool. Group IDs and counties / Special Projects may be listed multiple times in this report if a county has multiple Group IDs associate with it, and vice-versa.
Total Planned Cost values listed here come from the “County Mapping Activities” tab (ultimately, from the Sequencing Tool).

57
The Activity Description and Mapping Partner associated with each Group ID – county/Special Project pair is listed here.
Each Activity Cost listed is associated with a particular Activity, with a particular Mapping Partner, with a particular Group ID, with a particular county/Special Project. The Activity Cost is the value PALT users enter within the County Mapping Activities tab for a particular county/Special Project.

The PALT Planned and Due Dates report contains data found in the “Activity Groupings” tab and the “Schedule & Record Committed Funds” tab. Each Group ID is listed only once. The Group ID Total Planned Cost is displayed to provide a point of comparison with the Actual Obligated Cost associated with that Group ID.
In this report, the Group ID Total Planned Cost comes from the user-entered PALT values (the sum of the planned costs for all the activities associated with a particular Group ID).
Planned and Due Dates - LEFT

Within the Planned and Due Dates Report, the Actual Obligated Cost associated with a Group ID is pulled from the “Schedule & Record Committed Funds” tab and is used as a point of comparison with the Group ID Total Planned Cost.

The PALT Map Modernization and Management Support (MMMS) report contains data found in the “Activity Groupings” tab and the “Schedule & Record Committed Funds” tab. Each Group ID is listed only once. The Group ID Total Planned Cost (here called “MMMS Total Planned Cost”) is displayed to provide a point of comparison with the Actual Obligated Cost associated with that Group ID.
Note that the MMMS report shows similar information to the Planned and Due Dates report. No MMMS Group IDs show up on the Planned and Due Dates report; likewise, no non-MMMS Group IDs show up on the MMMMS report.
In this report, the MMMS Total Planned Cost comes from the user-entered PALT values (the sum of the planned costs for all the activities associated with a particular Group ID).

The Actions over $250,000 report counts how many Group IDs have a Total Planned Cost over $250,000. This information is grouped by Mapping Partner type.

63
In this example, Region 2 has a Group ID with a Total Planned Cost > $250K. For this reason, this Group ID is counted in the $250K report. Note that a Mapping Partner may be counted multiple times if they have multiple Group IDs with a Total Planned Cost > $250K.
