You have two options when saving: Save and Save As Draft.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Save | - Saves the sample with a status of Logged.
- Sample will be available in QC.
- Sample can be included on a Daily Report.
|
| Save As Draft | - Saves the sample with a status of Draft
- Sample will NOT be available in QC
- Sample will NOT be available to be included on a Daily Report.
- Can be accessed within the Manage Concrete Samples Field Screen

...
After you have successfully saved a sample, you will have the option of copying the sample you just entered.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Add New Concrete Sample | |
| Copy Last Sample | - Opens a new sample record
- Several fields will be copied from the previous sample
|
| Add Related Sample | - Opens a new sample record
- Several fields will be copied from previous sample
- Creates a relationship between the two sample records. This relationship is viewable from QC.
