Adding a Material Test

The materials used in highway construction must be tested to make sure they meet agency standards and contract requirements. The majority of tests are material tests, but tests can also be used to test processes or comprise a battery of tests.

To add a new test, select Add from the Action menu on the Test Overview component header.

The Add Test component opens on the General tab, which allows you to add general information for the new test. To create a test, you must enter information in these fields:

If this test requires a billing code, you must also select the Billing Code Required check box and add at least one billing row on the Billing Information tab.

When you are finished adding information, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

If you want to add another test, select Add New from the Actions menu on the component header. The system automatically saves the current test in the system and clears all fields. Follow the same steps to continue adding as many tests as needed.

To add additional information for the test, click the following tab:
