1. General rules and validation

1.1. Numbers

All numbers within Street Manager system are non-negative.

1.2. Dates and times

Note: Street Manager receives bank holiday data from gov.uk up to the end of the following year, any works that extend beyond that will not be factoring in bank holidays.

1.2.1. Date and time format

All dates and times must match the ISO 8601 standard date format.

See GOV.UK guidance for date-times https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-standards-for-government/date-times-and-time-stamps-standard

1.2.2. Calendar days

Street Manager calculates calendar days based on a 24 hour clock.

For example, the Street Manager system would consider the time period Monday 01:00 to Tuesday 23:00 as 2 calendar days.

1.2.3. Calendar month

Street Manager calculates a calendar month as 28 calendar days for the purpose of deeming and early start.

1.3. Coordinates

Coordinates must be a GeoJSON geometry (using British National Grid, easting and northing pairs).

1.4. Unique Street Reference Number (USRN)

(Previously section 16.3 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

1.5. File upload size

(Previously section 19 in Business rules v0.1 draft)

1.6. Text character limits

1.6.1. Username field

The max length for username fields is 50 characters.

1.6.2. Single-line text fields

Max length is 100 characters.

These include:

1.6.3. Multi-line text areas

Text areas for large comment fields are limited to the max length of 1500 characters.

All other text areas are limited to 500 characters. These include:


2. Workstreams

The Street Manager system will, by default, create a workstream with the prefix of ‘000’ for every organisation. Before users start raising works in Street Manager (production), their organisation must set up their workstreams as PAA/PAs cannot be raised using the ‘000’ workstream.

When organisations set up their workstreams, they can choose to allocate numerical prefixes between 1 - 999. See works reference number (WRN) section for details on how the workstream prefix will be used when raising works.
