- If the Test Date is modified to the current date (or a date that has passed), the Specimen will automatically move to the To Test queue where test results can be entered.
- You may also Print an Early Break List or Density List from this queue by selecting the appropriate control.
- Testable queue is broken up by Sample Type.
- From the Density Testable queue you can edit previous test rounds.

To Review | - After lab results are entered and saved in the To Test Queue, the specimen will automatically move here.
- For this queue, you can edit and approve test results entered.
- To change test results, select the test and click Edit Results
- For Cast Cylinders and Beam specimens, once approved the specimen will move to the Analyzed work queue and lab results are returned to Quality Control and Dashboard
- For Density Test specimens, if testing is complete, the specimen will move to the Analyzed work queue and lab results are returned to Quality Control and Dashboard.
However, if future testing must be performed on the Density Test specimen, it will move to the Testable work queue.

Difference in Test Age / Test Date in Lab and Quality Control
After a specimen is checked into Lab, the specimen Test Date / Test Age can be updated in Lab. You will not see this updated Test Date / Test Age in MetaField Quality Control until after a specimen status is updated to Analyzed in Lab.
