Introduction
This article will walk you through adding and editing a program and provide an overview of all the tabs, settings, and fields available in Program Information. The Add/Edit Entire Program feature is used to add new programs to your system and update the information for an existing program. It can also be used to view read-only program information reports.
Please Note: Many fields and options can only be configured during program creation, after which time they become read-only. When working with the settings of an existing program, please contact the Help Desk for assistance if you need to change a read-only value on the Agency Program Information page.
