Page Layout: This page consists of a main grid/form for forecasting, a forecasting totals block that follows the user as they scroll down, and a "favorites" block that contains To Be Hired templates (grad student, research assistant, research scientist, etc.) and any spending favorites (trip to Provence in Spring, etc.). The forecasting form/grid is further broken down into GL sections, one for each of the high level CEMIT or Approved GLS. Each GL block contains a subtotals block at the bottom.
Functional Summary: On first entry, the left nav is hidden, the name and description are blank, all GL blocks are open, and the people are shown in their data range view. If the user wants, they can close each block of existing commitments. (Do we need a close all/open all button???) Above each existing commitment in each GL block is an empty row so users can immediately begin forecasting. When a user gets to the last input field in the row, a new blank row is automatically added. In addition and not shown in the image is a "Add new row" button on each block. If a user wants to add a To Be Hired, they click on them and a new row is added that contains the defaults from the To Be Hired they clicked on, which can then be edited.
