The Program Information form contains the descriptive information about the program, including the Title, Abstract, and Program ID. These fields help provide context for the Survey Plan defined in the program, and investigators are encouraged to provide complete responses. Icons with a  APT Error red X indicate errors in APT, but can also simply indicate required fields for which relevant data have not yet been entered. Warnings in APT are also discussed in this video produced for JWST.

Where to Enter Program Information

The APT form editor screen is the main way that users will add the relevant information about their program into APT. Please see the Figure for Demonstration Program Information for a view of how the program information form looks in the form editor view. Additionally, the Program Description, Principal Investigator(s) (PI), and Co-Investigator(s) (CoI) can be added with the form editor. The Figure of the Principal Investigator Form Editor View in APT contains details on adding the individuals to the program. Please note that the terms Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator are adopted from the HST and JWST missions and are subject to change to better represent how the astronomical community will interface with the Roman mission.

 Program ID

APT Parameter Field Program ID

Enter the APT Parameter Field Program ID of the approved program (if not already entered by your Program Coordinator). APT Parameter Field Program ID is used only for approved programs (see Submission). The allowed range is APT Range Field 1-18445 . 

Program status in APT (Draft or Approved) is shown on the Program Information form:

• When a new program is created, APT Parameter Field Program ID is empty, and the program is labeled "Draft." 
• After APT Parameter Field Program ID is entered, the program is labeled "Approved." 

To reset a program to Draft, remove the APT Parameter Field Program ID . The program is once again labeled "Draft."

Category 

APT Parameter Field Category  = APT Value Field GAS (default), APT Value Field CCS APT Value Field CGI APT Value Field CAL APT Value Field ENG APT Value Field COM APT Value Field NASA  

Select one Category. Definitions and the allowed Sub-Categories for each Category are shown in the Table of Category Definitions.

Sub-Category

APT Parameter Field Category =  APT Value Field OR  (default), APT Value Field AR , APT Value Field DR , APT Value Field GBTD , APT Value Field HLTD , APT Value Field HLWA , APT Value Field CGI , APT Value Field WFI , APT Value Field WFSC , APT Value Field MU , APT Value Field SK , APT Value Field SC

Select one sub-category. Definitions are shown in the Table of Sub-Category Definitions. Allowed sub-categories depend on the selected APT Parameter Field Category as shown in the Table of Category Definitions.

APT Parameter Field Allow Restricted

Select this checkbox to enable restricted features. This option is saved with the program.

• When APT Parameter Field Category = CAL, ENG, or COM, APT Parameter Field Allow Restricted is selected and cannot be changed.
•   APT Parameter Field Allow Restricted should not be selected if APT Parameter Field Category = GAS or CCS. (   APT provides a warning).
