For this example, we are going to set up a form for a Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates (ASTM C136) but this could be used for any test. Note that this page assumes you are familiar with setting up custom tests, sample and specimen forms and reports. If you have questions on this, refer to DIY Form & Report Engine help.
Creating the Sample/Specimen Form
...
After the sample and specimen forms are created, you must also create a test form. In Administration under LIMS / Samples > Test Forms find or create a group for this test to be in. For this example we will use the group "Bituminous Tests". Customers often find that putting the standard name in the form name is helpful. Select Add Test Form. We will call this test Standard Test Method for Sample Tracking - Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates (ASTM C136(You may choose to name the test with your own common naming convention).
You must also associate this test form with the same Material associated with the Sample Form you created earlier. This is done by editing the properties of opening the form for editing and selecting Form Settings.
Finally, you must define your test form. Since the majority of the test is going to be done outside of MetaField, there is very little we need to do. You may add additional fields if you would like to, but minimally add a File Upload field. We will call ours "External Report".
