| Status | Definition |
|---|
Review | - Optional status that can be applied to any specimen that requires further review before reporting
|
Complete | - Applied when test data review is complete and the specimen is ready for reporting
|
Uncollected | - Specimens were never Picked Up or Checked In from the field
| Tip |
|---|
If a specimen is incorrectly marked as Uncollected in Field, a Quality Control user can set the status back to Logged. Likewise you can mark a specimen as Uncollected if this was not done in the field module.  Image Removed Image Added

| Info |

A specimen cannot be reported on a lab / specimen report until it's status is set to Complete. Draft samples can't be added to any report. |
...
| Control | Purpose |
|---|
| - Opens the sample record so it can be edited (sample grid)
- Allows for report comments related to a specimen to be added (specimen grid)
- Allows for a specimen to be excluded from the test age average calculation (specimen grid)
| Tip |
|---|
| - If the Test Age and/or Hold indicator for a Specimen need to be edited, they must be edited prior to the Specimen being "Checked In"
- If the change needs to be made after this point, the lab must be notified directly
- Lab results can't be modified in the QC module - they must be changed in the Lab module
|
| Tip |

| title | Editing Date Cast Date |
|---|
| - The Cast / Logged Date for a sample may be edited until one more specimens has been checked-in to Lab. Once a specimen has been checked-in, this date cannot be changed unless you have the elevated Manage Concrete Sample Date permission that grants you access to change the date.
|
|
| - Indicates there are Field Notes that are part of the sample record
- Field Notes are not reportable and visible (at the bottom) if you edit the sample record
|
| - Indicates if the sample is related to another sample
- Typically used if you are casting more than one type of sample type from a given sample of concrete (i.e. casting some cylinders and creating a beam)
