The Water Accounts Manager displays one account per row. Sortable columns display the Object, Account Name, Water Type, Account Type, Water Owner, and Priority Date, if applicable. Following are descriptions of the buttons, toggles, and features of the utility.
Account Type Filter
Each Account type (Storage, Diversion, Passthrough, and InstreamFlow) has a toggle button. If the toggle is selected, then accounts of that type are shown in the Accounts Area.
Set Water Type
This button is used to set the Water Type of many accounts at one time. Highlight the desired accounts, select a new Water Type from the menu, and select Set Water Type to make the change.
Set Water Owner
This button is used to set the Water Owner of many accounts at one time. Highlight the desired accounts, select a new Water Owner from the pull down menu, and select Set Water Owner to make the change.
Set Priority Date
This button is used to set the priority date of an account. If each account must have a unique priority date, the user can only change one priority date at a time. To do this, select the desired account, change the priority date by either typing a new date in the box or selecting the up or down arrow, and select Set Priority Date to apply. If the accounting system configuration allows equal priority dates among accounts (see Accounting System Configuration for details), multiple accounts can be selected and changed at the same time. Accounts with the same priority date will be distinguished by a background color shading of the priority date in the accounts list.There is also a Clear button to remove priority dates from one or more accounts.
Select Account Methods. Access the Multiple Account Method Selector to select methods on many accounts in one action using the Account, then Account Method Selector. See Multiple Account Method Selector for a description.
