When working in MetaField® in the density area, a user will create a test that has a status associated with it. The test will work through a process from the initial logging, until the test appears on a report. The diagram below describes this process and how it works in the various areas of MetaField.
Field
A density test is created in the Field module by a field technician. There are two basic scenarios that can occur:
...
While a test is in pending status, it can be edited in the Field module and a proctor (or Max Density) can be entered to move it to analyzed. Once it is in analyzed status, the test can still be edited, but the test can not be edited in the Field module once it is in a status of complete. .
A field technician may also create a Density Testing Field Report containing one or many test records.
Quality Control
Since project managers use QC to view and manage their project work, a test is viewable in QC as soon as it is saved for the first time. At that initial save, the project manager will see the test as pending or analyzed. The proctor (or max density) for a pending test can be edited in QC as well as Field to make it analyzed.
