Frequently Asked Questions: MIP Workflow – Sequencing/PALT

What happens to the data in the PALT Tool once we enter into a new fiscal year?

The PALT Tool is constantly reading the projected cost of a county or Special Project for the current fiscal year from the Last Approved Values in the Sequencing Tool. On October 1st of each successive fiscal year, the PALT Tool will automatically read the Sequencing data associated with the new fiscal year. These new values will appear in the PALT Tool under County Mapping Activities. This is an automatic process that facilitates the comparison of projected costs from the Sequencing Tool with funds tracked in the PALT Tool for the current fiscal year.

It is possible within the PALT Tool, however, to view and edit data for prior fiscal years. This can be accomplished by selecting the desired fiscal year from the drop-down menu on any one of the three main PALT tabs. Note that when a user first logs into the PALT Tool, the current fiscal year's data is loaded by default.
