If you have a concrete placement happening over midnight, the + control in the following fields can be used to assign a date to the time. For example, if the concrete was batched at 11:45 PM and arrived after midnight, assigning the date in addition to the time ensures that the placement time calculation is accurate.

Using Supplier / Plant / Mix Design Fields
The Supplier / Plant / Mix Design fields have some unique functionality integrated with them.The The Lookup button on each field should be used to look up and select suppliers / plants / mix designs. A screen similar to the following will display. By default all available values will display. You can begin typing a name in the search box at the top to limit the selection to only values that contain that search string.
Any values displayed in red text are considered new values that can be selected (i.e. in the event the needed value is not part of the existing list). These are considered Draft values.
Tip |
---|
Your MetaField business administrator controls which fields allow Draft values to be added. You may experience situations where, for example, you are not allowed to enter Draft values for Supplier and Plant, but you are allowed to enter a draft value for Mix Design because of the unpredictable nature and quantity of mix designs a supplier produces. |
