Proctor FAQs
Question | Answer |
---|---|
When can I edit a Proctor? | 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) |
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. |
