Selecting a Project
To select a project, you can choose the Search Projects button. If you are already in a project, you can change projects by selecting the Project Number.
Last Logged Sample
If the project you are working with has already had samples logged to it, you will see the details regarding the last logged sample. This may be helpful in determining the next set number for you to record on your cylinder molds.
Concrete specimens saved in a Draft status will not display in this section.
