Field

Activity - Added a new Manage Density Retests section to display density test form records where the test requires a retest, but it has not been retested yet

Activity - Search / Results - Added Field Activity Retest Results configuration where the user has the ability to manage which fields display on the Manage Density Retest page in Field

There is no need to configure this setting at this time. This is work in development and the configurations can be used starting in the 2022.1 release in early 2022.

Work Items - Added Retest - Soil Density that will be used for retests of DIY soil density forms

LIMS

Testable Queue (Other Materials) - Added the ability for users to “Change Lab” functionality / button

Determine if any validation messages could benefit from variable placeholders. Use field system names as the placeholder name inside brackets to configure (i.e. {{SystemName}})

Added a Retest Of field to the Density Test - Soil Nuclear Gauge forms so users can reference the original failed density test

Added a Retest field to the Density Test - Soil Nuclear Gauge forms so users can indicate if the test requires a retest

Report Designer
