While working on these exercises, utilize the Help feature in MetaField (located in the upper right corner) to answer any questions.

The exercises are also intended to see how the entire scheduling workflow process works. You will be asked to navigate from the Scheduling module to the Field module and vise versa to see how the two modules interact with each other.

Before You Begin

NOTE

One of the exercises in this section will ask you to enter a Soil Nuclear Gauge field test. This requires valid proctor results to be entered in the Lab module. While normally Field users would not use the Lab module, you should navigate to the Lab module in order to ensure a valid proctor for your project. This should be done on a PC, not on a mobile device.

1.

Log in to MetaField at https://sandbox.agileframe.net

2.

Navigate to LIMS > Soil Proctor Results > View Proctors.

3.

Soil proctors are specific to each project. Type 123 into the Project Number field. Select Search. Select View Proctors for the project you selected.

4.

Verify that at least one proctor is active for the project you are using. If there is not an active proctor, you can create one using the button Add Proctor For This Project. 

5.

You may now leave the Lab module and access the Scheduling Module.
