Button Bar Buttons Button Purpose Change Status Changes the status on marked specimens (i.e set a specimen as Review status or change from Analyzed to Complete) Preview Specimen Report Generates a preview of the respective specimen / lab results report (based on the sample type) Create Specimen Draft Report Creates a Draft specimen / lab results report Puts the report in the Draft Reports quality control module for review Finalize Specimen Report Finalizes the specimen / lab results report and moves it to the Delivery module View Break Remarks Displays a legend of all break remarks and their descriptions Set Remark Code Sets a remark code on the selected specimens Specimen needs to have lab data or is designated as untested View Fracture Types Displays a legend of all fracture type codes and their descriptions Specimen Record Buttons Button Purpose Edit Add a Report Comment for a particular specimen Add / remove the Hold designation on a specimen Manage the Test Cost for a specimen Exclude a specimen from test age average calculations. Edit Pick Up Modify specimen pick up metadata (temperatures, date, time, who, standard / field cure information, etc.) Edit Check In Modify specimen check in metadata (check in date, time, who, etc.) Low breaks will highlight the compressive strength and % of specified strength values in red. Low breaks alert levels are configured in the Administration and Specifications module.

Common Controls

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) Specimen Grid Edits 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 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)
	Shows the reports that a sample / specimen has been reported on
	Allows for pickup information (curing metadata) to be modified
	Allows for check in data to be modified

Creating Reports

Placement Summary Report

• Select the samples you want to report
• Choose if you want to the load volumes to be cumulated on the report
• Supply the remaining report metadata (see table below)

Specimen (Lab Results) Report

• Select the sample you want to report
• Select the specimens you want to report for the selected sample
• Choose if you want to include the curing information (min/max temperatures, initial curing environment, final curing environment, moisture protection, etc.) on the report
• Supply the remaining report metadata (see table below)

Creating Batch Specimen Reports

There are times where it is helpful to create specimen reports for multiple sets at the same time. Simply mark the sets you want to report and click the Create Batch Specimen Report button. A preview window will be presented that allows project managers to review and select if each report should be deleted (not approved), saved as a Draft report (Draft Reports QC workflow) or Finalized. Report metadata only needs to be supplied once and is common for ALL reports processed as part of the Batch Specimen Report workflow.
