Correcting Corrupted Proctor Data in Field Compaction Tests

In BreakTest’s field density form, applying a proctor (from the Proctor lookup list) to a test results row automatically adds a summary of that proctor to the “Soils Description” list on the form. With this in mind, consider a scenario where a proctor referenced in the test results table is missing it’s corresponding summary on the soils description list, or vice-versa.

Only proctor data 770 has matching summary "Description B - 770..."

Proctor data in row #3 has a matching summary “Description B – 770…”
Proctor data in rows #1 & #2 (1500…) have no matching summary, and “Description A -Edited Proctor – 1700…” has no matching proctor data on the results table. What is going on here?

Printing a Select Set of Test Rows

Once the reviewer approves test results in BreakTest, signing the test reports automatically archives them as PDF files. These PDF reports are snapshots of the e-form as it was when it was signed, and are ready to be emailed to the client.
For field density tests however, there may be times when you are required to provide your client with only a select set of the test rows on the report. You can do this by selecting the rows you want, and printing only those.

Working on a Select Set of Test Rows

Working with Select Rows
In BreakTest, concrete and soils test results are recorded on a long running table list on their e-forms (the list is broken up to fit letter-size pages for reporting). This continuous list simplifies managing the test results.
However, the list can get quite long for field density tests, and there are times when you need to work on certain field density test rows, and skip others. For example, you may need to assign proctors to only a set of applicable rows. Or if you’re approving the test results, you may need to skip certain rows due to inaccurate information. More purposes for this capability follows later in this article.
