Maintaining Component Materials for a Superpave Mix Design

The Superpave Mix Design Component Materials agency view enables you to record the brand name, sample record, and other information about a component material used in a Superpave mix design.

In order to make an agency view available for use on the Mix Design Summary, the agency view must first be associated with the mix design type for the mix design you are viewing. If the agency view was used to enter data but the agency view association is inactive, users can view but not add or modify data in the agency view. For more information, see Maintaining Mix Design Types and Understanding Agency Views Understanding Agency Views.

Note: Superpave Mix Design Component Materials is a sample agency view included with the system. Sample agency views are read-only and cannot be associated with other records. Instead, your administrator must copy the sample agency view and its related agency entities, and then you can associate the copy with the appropriate record and enter data as needed. As a result, the agency view copy will have a different name from the original sample described in this topic.

For a mix design that is associated with the Superpave Mix Design Component Materials agency view, you can access the component by navigating to the Component Materials tab on the Mix Design Summary and selecting Superpave Mix Design Component Materials from the Actions menu on the material row.

You can view or change values in these fields:

Brand Name
Blend Percent
Specific Gravity Apparent

Click in a field and add, change, or delete information as needed. When you are finished, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

To delete the information entered on the Superpave Mix Design Component Materials agency view for the current mix design component material, select Clear Usage Data from the Actions menu on the component header. Usage data can be cleared only if the agency view association is active. The system clears all of the data on the component.
