Step NumberDescriptionExample
1.

Navigate to 'Administration/ LIMS / Samples/ Material Specifications' and click on the Add Specification button.

Info

Specifications can be added to a pre-existing Material Specification at a later time.  If the Material Specification has no active records the Specification will be added to all test forms which contain the Material Specification.

If the Material Specification does have active records, the Specification will be added to new test forms that use the Material Specification, but WON'T be added to previously filled out forms.


2.

Enter the desired information for the specification:

Name: Name given to the specification.

Specification Type:  The type of test that the specification is associated with. Note, in MetaField 2.13 the only specification Type available is Sieve Test.

Materials: The material types that the specification is associated with.  Each specification can be associated with one or multiple material types.

Specification Value: The value/parameter that the specification is going to use to evaluate measurements. 


3.

Add and name the variants that you would like to use inside the specification.  Note you can always add more variants at a later time.  

Each specification can have multiple variants.  The common thread between the different variants inside a specification is the Specification Value, which will be the same across all the variants.  

The Reorder Variants button allows for the Variants display order to be changed.

4.

Enter the Sieve sizes that will be used by the variant and assign the limits and operators that they will be using.

Precision: Represents how many decimal places will be used when assessing the value against the upper and lower limits. 

Rounding: Currently doesn't impact how the calculations are rounded.
