Financial Code Generator User Documentation

The Financial Code Generator is a web application used for generating state financial codes for tracking state expenses related to wildfire incidents that the state has a financial interest in. The application also displays information about each fire incident from the Integrated Reporting of Wildland-Fire Information (IRWIN) service and provides some reporting capability.

Viewing Incident Information

All users of the site have access to basic incident information without needing to login. There are two separate types of financial codes: those that are generated during the fire year and may be associated with an incident from IRWIN, and codes that are specified at the beginning of the fire year.

The default page shows the list of codes generated throughout the fire year. Click on a row to view more information about individual incidents. A modal will appear that shows additional DNRC specific information as well as more information about the associated IRWIN incident if one is present. Click on the close button or outside of the modal to close it.

The financial code list can be filtered by using a generic search field, the area and unit dropdowns, as well as the voided and Montana Only checkboxes. The generic search field filters by all of the incident properties visible on the code list page. If the area and unit dropdowns don't contain the item that you are looking for, it means that it isn't present in any codes for the fire year selected.

The other page shows the preseason admin codes. This can be accessed using the Admin Codes link on the application header bar. If there are no pre-season codes added for the year, no categories will be shown.

Requesting Elevated Permissions

In order to create new financial codes, you must login to the application and submit a request to have access.
