ControlPurpose

  • Opens the sample record so it can be edited (sample grid)
  • Allows for report comments related to a specimen to be added (specimen grid)
Tip
titleSpecimen Grid Edits
  • If the Test Age and/or Hold indicator for a Specimen need to be edited, they must be edited prior to the Specimen being "Checked In"
  • If the change needs to be made after this point, the lab must be notified directly
  • Lab results can't be modified in the QC module - they must be changed in the lab module
Tip
titleEditing Date Cast Date
  • The Cast / Logged Date for a sample may be edited until one more specimens has been checked-in to Lab. Once a specimen has been checked-in, this date cannot be changed unless you have the elevated Manage Concrete Sample Date permission that grants you access to change the date.
  • Indicates there are Field Notes that are part of the sample record
  • Field Notes are not reportable and visible (at the bottom) if you edit the sample record
  • Indicates if the sample is related to another sample
  • Typically used if you are casting more than one type of sample type from a given sample of concrete (i.e. casting some cylinders and creating a beam)

  • Shows the reports that a sample / specimen has been reported on

  • Allows for pickup information (curing metadata) to be modified

  • Allows for check in data to be modified

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Review & Edit Data

...

Directly under the Concrete Samples table is the Concrete Specimens table.

  

 

 

Info
titleSpecimens Display
  • The Specimens displayed in the Concrete Specimens Table are related only to the Sample which is currently highlighted on the table above. 
    Therefore, you can only view Specimens for one Sample at a time.
  • The check boxes on the left end of the Concrete Samples table are used for creating reports, not for controlling what appears on the bottom Concrete Specimens table.

Tip
titleEditing of Cast / Logged Date
  • The Cast / Logged Date for a sample may be edited until one more specimens has been checked-in to Lab. Once a specimen has been checked-in, this date cannot be changed unless you have the elevated Manage Concrete Sample Date permission that grants you access to change the date.

    Creating Batch Specimen Reports

    There are times where it is helpful to create specimen reports for multiple sets at the same time.  You You can do this using the Create Batch Specimen Report button above the Sample Grid.  Simply Simply mark the sets you want to report and click the Create Batch Specimen Report button. A preview window will be presented that allows project managers to review and select if each report should be deleted (not approved), saved as a Draft report (Draft Reports QC workflow) or Finalized. Report metadata only needs to be supplied once and is common for ALL reports processed as part of the Batch Specimen Report workflow.

    Info

    When using this functionality, you are required to select like sample types (i.e. all marked records are cast cylinder records). You are NOT allowed to create a batch report with a mix of beams and cast cylinder records, for example.
