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.

Selecting a Project
To select a project, you can choose the Search Projects button. If you are already in a project, you can change projects by selecting the Project Number.
Last Logged Sample
If the project you are working with has already had samples logged to it, you will see the details regarding the last logged sample. This may be helpful in determining the next set number for you to record on your cylinder molds. Samples saved as a Draft status will not display in this section.

Add New Concrete Sample | |
Copy Last Sample | 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.- 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 |
---|
- Specimen size and set (specimen count / details) are copied if copying to the same type of sample
|
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.

title | Example of when to use Related Sample |
---|
| If you are taking two different Sample Types from the same truck (e.g., Cast Cylinder and Density Test), you may choose to add these as related samples |
