Concrete Shrinkage Screen and Test Report Redesign

=====Concrete Batch Plant Inspection Ticket===== This introduces a new QESTLab Test Screen and Test Report to complement the existing QESTField Workflow. The QESTLab Test screen has been created to mimic the existing QESTField Workflows functionality. It will allow the user to enter in details, create and remove mixtures of the three material types (Aggregate, Cementitious Materials and Admixtures), enter in Water details and add comments, which will be included on the report.

The 'Batch Plant Inspection Ticket Report' has also been created. This report will be automatically generated when the Ticket is created, whether in QESTField or QESTLab.

Finally, a new feature has been implemented to lock the Concrete Samples 'Mix Data' grid, when a child Batch Plant Inspection Ticket is present under the sample. This is due to the data that is entered into the Ticket being automatically exported to the Concrete Samples 'Mix Data' section.

Publishing

=====Test Report Email Subject===== A new option, "Constructed Email Subject", has been added in the QEST Administrator Console (accessible via Configuration -> Options -> Publishing -> Email) that gives customers the ability to configure the Subject of the Email when sending Test Reports directly from QESTLab.
The option lets users configure which database fields appear in the subject line by including the field name within double box brackets.

E.g. If the option is configured as "Report No: [[ReportNo]] of Client [[ClientName]]" then it will generate the following email subject line; "Report No: WO-12345S01 of My Test Client ABC".

The fields that can be included in the subject line are restricted to the following:

• ReportNo
• WorkOrderID
• ClientCode
• ClientName
• ProjectCode
• ProjectName
• LabName

If an incorrect field or format is entered then the entire Subject will revert to the default value which is, "Test Report [[ReportNo]]"

QESTField

Concrete

=====Inclusion of Load No. and Lift No.===== For any Aggregate/Soil Field Density workflow, the Lift No. will now also be available for data entry. It will be found in the Test Location section.

=====Reporting of Density (MPUV) for AU Concrete===== Users will be able to conduct Mass per Unit Volume (MPUV) tests in QESTField for the AS1012.5 - 1999 and RMS T303 standards.

On the Field Data phase of the Concrete Workflow a drop down for Measured Density Method has been added. From this drop down the user can select either 'Full' or 'Reduced', which will add the Mass per Unit Volume full test or reduced test to the concrete sample. If the selected test is the reduced screen then a field will be shown for entry of the Measured Density. For the full test, a 'MPUV' phase will be added to the Concrete Workflow to provide the test's workflow. If no test is selected, 'Measured Density' can be entered directly as before.

In QESTLab the Concrete Sample (AU) will now import the Measured Density from the child MPUV test.

The following tests can be added:

• Mass per Unit Volume of Freshly Mixed Concrete [AS 1012.5]
• Mass Per Unit Volume (Yield) [AS 1012.5] *
• Mass per Unit Volume of Freshly Mixed Concrete [RMS T303]
• Mass Per Unit Volume (Yield) [RMS T303] *
