SECTION 4 SAMPLE GROUPS
4.1 WHAT IS A "SAMPLE GROUP"?
A Sample Group is a predefined, stored set of samples available for fast and easy setup of a
Batch. The Sample Group (or Group for short) is intended for batches that are frequently used to
set up a specific BOD test. For example, assume that every Thursday you set up and run Initials
for a BOD test batch that includes the same samples, same dilutions, same seed, and other
relevant information. When you set up a Group just one click of the mouse and your batch is fully
set and ready to open a bench sheet for reading Initial DOs.
A Group definition includes a descriptive Group Name (e.g., Thursday), and the sample names of
the group (see example below). You will want to list Samples in a Group in the same order that
you typically measure them.
Since Groups need not appear on any report there is no need to keep a permanent record of them.
Unlike Samples when you delete a Group it is permanently removed from the database.
4.2 THE GROUP SETUP FORM
Define a Group using the Group Setup form. You can define as many Groups as you need and
with the Group Setup
form you add, edit and
delete groups. To define a
Group select Setup /
Groups from the Menu to
access the Group Setup
form.
Use the toolbar to
navigate the form. Adding
samples to the Group is
discussed in the next
subsection.
Note that an especially
long Sample Name can be
made to appear if you
hover the mouse over the
Sample Name.
