Purpose
This section of MetaField allows you to record data specific to concrete, grout and mortar samples. In MetaField these different activities are broken down into the Sample Types listed below. Users select a sample type when adding a concrete / grout / mortar sample and the data input screens will be customized based on the sample type selection.
Screen shots below may be for a particular sample type, but would apply to other sample types also.

Add New Concrete Sample | |
Copy Last Sample | - Opens a new sample record
- Several fields will be copied from the previous sample
- New Sample Type can be selected, however samples will not be related
Info |
---|
Since a different Sample Type can be selected which may have different specimen sizes associated with them, specimen size as well as any default set information is not copied. |
|
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.
