Budget Overview

Budget Overview displays key date and cost information about the budget. The currently-accessed period number is always displayed in the section’s header tab label area. This displays the same Budget Overview section (including all Personnel AND Non-Personnel totals) on both the Personnel and Non-Personnel pages.
