About Soil Proctor Results

To support Soil Density testing, a minimal amount of Proctor data must be entered for active projects. Proctor results need to be entered into MetaField before Soil Density tests (using a nuclear gauge) can be completed

Entering Proctor Information

Select Lab from the MetaField home page and then choose Soil Proctor Results.

There are 2 options for entering the Proctor information:

Proctor FAQs

When can I edit a Proctor?
A.  Proctors can only be edited or deleted if they are not currently used on a Soil Density test.

How do I edit or delete a Proctor that has been used on a test?
A.  You can’t. If you have discovered a Proctor contains incorrect information, but that proctor is currently in use, contact the project manager to determine next steps.

How do I make sure a Proctor is not used on future tests?
A.  Deactivate the Proctor.  A Proctor in the status of Inactive, will remain on all tests where it was used, but will not be available for any future tests.

How do I change the Proctor on a test that has already been saved?
A.  Within Quality Control, the project manager can change the Proctor on any test until the test has the status of Complete.
