Introduction to Manager

 

 

 

 

Manager is a web-based dashboard application that allows external consulting organizations to review, QA/QC, edit and submit incoming Trekker Survey data to SHPO for inclusion in the CRIS database. Manager is available as a main menu option with CRIS for those with Trekker Credentials. To access Manager, login to CRIS and click the Trekker Manager menu at the top of the page (note: all CRIS users that are authorized for Trekker access will have the Trekker Manager menu available within CRIS).

 

 

 

Manager requires the user to login with their NY.GOV credentials (in addition to already having logged into CRIS).

 

The default home page for Manager is the Home or “Overview” page as shown in the image below. The Home/Overview page displays a map showing the location of all incoming survey data (statewide) for projects in which the user is a member. At the bottom of the screen are three tabs as follows:

 

Projects – This tab contains a grid listing all Trekker Survey Projects for which the user is a member

Inventory Forms – This tab contains a grid listing all Building Inventory Forms that have been collected (Statewide) within Trekker Survey Projects for which the user is a member

Proposed Districts - This tab contains a grid listing all Proposed Historic Districts that have been collected (Statewide) within Trekker Survey Projects for which the user is a member

 

 

Breadcrumb Trail

Below the top most header of the application, the sub-header displays a breadcrumb trail showing the hierarchy of pages the user opens (e.g., Home>Albany Survey Project>42 North Pearl St.). All previous pages are links which can be clicked allowing the user to "go back" to any previous page.
