Creating or modifying a capital project

When creating a new capital project, you enter details about the project into Axiom Capital Tracking. The information to add depends on various factors such as whether the project is a Threshold or Non-Threshold project.

After you create a project, a plan file opens with various tab levels and pages for you to complete. Which pages display depends on the project type for which you are submitting a request for. Each page includes a combination of prepopulated data and input fields. The pages include the following:

  • Blue fields to input data.
  • Drop-down menus to select options.
  • White fields that are pre-populated with data.
