Editing a Proctor
- In Lab, go to Soil Proctor Results and choose View Proctors.
- Locate the project with the Proctor(s) you would like to edit and select to View Proctors hyperlink prior to the project number.
- A list of Proctors for the select project will appear. Select the Edit button next to the Proctor you would like to edit.
Adding a Proctor Curve or Image
Both Proctor Curves (PDF file format) and Proctor Images can be added to a Proctor. To do this, you must first choose the correct Proctor from the list. Then select the Upload Proctor Curve/Image button.
Adding a Proctor Family Curve
To add a Family Curve, select the Add Family Curve For This Project button on the View Proctors screen
Enter the name of the Proctor Family Curve, along with any notes if necessary, and select save.
Uploading a Family Curve Image
To upload an image to a Family Curve, select the appropriate Family curve and then choose the Upload Family Curve button.
Once an image is saved, an icon will appear under the Family Curve column. You can select this icon to view the image.
Adding Proctors to a Family Curve
To add individual proctors to a Family of Curves you must first add the Proctor Family. Then you can edit a Proctor and choose the correct Family Curve value.
Copy Proctor Values to a New Project
Proctors can be copied from one project to another by using the Copy Proctor To Another Project button.
Step | Example |
---|---|
1. Select the Copy Proctor To Another Project button | |
2. Enter in the project number you'd like the proctor to be copied to. Assign the copied proctor an ID. Select which proctor you'd like to copy. | |
3. If the proctor you are copying contains one or more images (Family Curve, Proctor Curve, Proctor Image), these images will also be copied. However, before saving, the system allows you to View the Proctor Curve or Add a new one. Note: If the Family being copied already exists within the new project, the Family Curve image will be lost during the copy. Images can always be added or removed after the copy. (See Adding an Image / PDF to a Proctor or Family Curve above). |

Proctor FAQs
Question | Answer |
---|---|
When can I edit a Proctor? | Proctors can only be edited or deleted if they are not currently used on a Soil Density test. Exception: If necessary, proctors can be edited if they've already been used on a density test with the Manage Soil Proctors special permission (Roles) |
How do I edit or delete a Proctor that has been used on a test? | 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. Exception: If necessary, proctors can be edited if they've already been used on a density test with the Manage Soil Proctors special permission (Roles) |
How do I make sure a Proctor is not used on future tests? | 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? | Within Quality Control, the project manager can change the Proctor on any test until the test has the status of Complete. |
