Question:

It seems ESdat Online will not let you enter letters for guidelines. Web does not seem to allow text values in guidelines and will only allow numerical values to be entered.

Is there a way to use letters for guideline values?

Answer:

The text values can be uploaded as comments. As long as you have the Comments turned on in the Environmental Standards dropdown, you should be able to see the statements as footnotes in your table.

What you may also consider doing for Site specific / custom standards is to leave the value blank and include the Calculation in the Comments field of that action level.
