Purpose

The Test Administration area allows you to move Soil Density tests to other projects or delete them. It also allows you to assign a test as a retest of another test or clear that retest association. This area should only be used in the rare circumstance that an incorrect test cannot be resolved by users using the controls available in Field and Quality Control. Common problems addressed include:

  • Field user enters a Soil Density test on the wrong project
  • Field user enters an invalid Soil Density test that the project manager wishes to delete
  • Field user did not use the functionality to perform a retest in the Field module and you need to "backfill" a retest association

Test Administration Informational Messages

You will also be prompted if one of the following conditions exist:

  • A report has been created for one of the tests being moved or deleted.
  • If tests of different Test Types (e.g., Sand Cone and Soil Nuclear Gauge) are selected.
  • A selected test has is related to other tests. 
    Once a test is deleted or moved, these relationships will be removed.

When using Test Administration, it is important that you keep the following things in mind:

  • Tests and associated re-tests must always be moved or deleted together.
  • Moving or deleting tests re-numbers the remaining tests on the project.
  • Moving a test to another project will remove the Proctor.  The Proctor must be re-selected from the new project and the test re-run.
  • The entire project number must be entered when using this function
