Even though configured Proctor test forms can be created, MetaField still has a dependency on a Soil Proctor Result record to do field density testing. A process has been introduced to import proctor test results from a configured proctor test form, including the proctor curve image. |
Entering Proctor Information
Select Lab LIMS from the MetaField home page and then choose Soil Proctor Results.
There are 2 options for entering the Proctor information:

Tip |
---|
In order to import proctor test results from a configured test form, the system names outlined above need to be used. In addition, you need to add your proctor from the View Proctor Results screen using the Add Proctor For This Project button. On the Add Proctor pop up window, use the Import Proctor |
Test Results button to import test results. The copy process will also copy the supporting proctor curve image if it exists. The proctor curve chart field on your configured form needs to have ProctorCurve as the system name of that field. The system will manage which test results have been imported to a Proctor Results record. In order to keep track of this, your configured form needs to have a Y/N field with a system name of ProctorCopied. |
Editing Proctor Values
Warning |
---|
Proctors can only be edited or deleted if they are not currently used on a Soil Density test. Exception: If necessary, proctors can be edited if they've already been used on a density test with the Manage Soil Proctors special permission (Roles) |
Adding a Proctor Curve or Image
Both Proctor Curves (PDF file format) and Proctor Images can be added to a Proctor. To do this, you must first choose the correct Proctor from the list. Then select the Upload Proctor Curve/Image button. You You will need to identify if the file you are uploading is an image of the Proctor or a Proctor curve. After your file has been uploaded, an icon will appear in the grid. If you choose this icon, you can view the uploaded file.

When a file is uploaded to a Proctor, the Field user can view this image after he selects the Proctor in Field. |
Adding a Proctor Family Curve
To add a Family Curve, select the Add Family Curve For This Project button on the View Proctors screenEnter . Enter the name of the Proctor Family Curve, along with any notes as necessary, and select save.
Uploading a Family Curve Image
To upload an image to a Family Curve, select the appropriate Family curve and then choose the Upload Family Curve button. Once Once an image is saved, an icon will appear under the Family Curve column. You can select this icon to view the image.
Adding Proctors to a Family Curve
To add individual proctors to a Family of Curves you must first add the Proctor Family. Then you can edit a Proctor and choose the correct Family Curve value.
Deleting Proctor Curves / Proctor Images / Family Curve Images
Once a file has been uploaded, you can remove the file by selecting the X to the right of the image icon.
Copy Proctor Values to a New Project
One or more Proctors can be copied from one project to another by using the Copy Proctors To Another Project button.

Proctor FAQs
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How do I edit or delete a Proctor that has been used on a test? | You can’t. If you have discovered a Proctor contains incorrect information, but that proctor is currently in use, contact the project manager to determine next steps. Exception: If necessary, proctors can be edited if they've already been used on a density test with the Manage Soil Proctors special permission (Roles) |
How do I make sure a Proctor is not used on future tests? | Deactivate the Proctor. A Proctor in the status of Inactive, will remain on all tests where it was used, but will not be available for any future tests. |
How do I change the Proctor on a test that has already been saved? | Within Quality Control, the project manager can change the Proctor on any test until the test has the status of Complete. |
