This article is intended for: ClearGov Admin users.
Use this article after: you are ready to update your Debt data in ClearGov.
Note: You can select any image below to zoom in.
Debt data is entered into the Debt Tool and can be displayed in the Debt Services Overview section of your Digital Budget Book and on your ClearGov Transparency Profile.
Update Debt Values
To begin updating Debt values, navigate to Tools in the left-hand navigation sidebar and select the Debt Tool.
- Select the correct individual fund from the drop-down list above the table. Note: Debt must be entered at an individual fund level. If you enter data at the All Funds level, it will not display properly in Transparency or the budget book.
-
Add new debt categories or subcategories using the Add new + button. Expanding a category will allow you to add a subcategory. Categories and sub-categories can be added for different types of municipal bonds and notes, loans, and to display debt levels on current operations.
Note: All debt types are available across all funds.
- To change the name of a debt category or subcategory, select the pencil icon. To delete a line item, select the dash - icon.
-
Select or double-click on a cell in the table and type in the new value.
Pro Tip: Use the tab key for quick data entry.
-
Add a prior or new year using the buttons below the table. To delete a year, select the trash can icon next to that year.
Note: Deleting or adding years is the only way to control the years of Debt that display on the Transparency center or budget book. We cannot recover deleted content, meaning a deleted year can not be brought back!
- This step is crucial! After adding new subcategory lines and dollar values, select the Sum button, and the total will update in the parent category.
It is imperative to select the SUM button to save those values and ensure they are captured in the system. That is the only way Debt data will flow into the Budget Book and Transparency Center.
