Whilst it is better to plan a sampling job in the web portal and assign to a sampler, you can also start an adhoc job for an existing or a new client on the app itself.
On the Collect screen, tap on + New sampling job. You'll be taken to the Organisation list.
Organisation - The organisation list shows all organisations you are currently linked to or have sampled before. Select the business that you wish to sample and tap on Next in the top right. If the organisation is not in the list, tap on Create new at the bottom of the screen.
Job Name - the job name will default to the Organisation name and the date. You can edit that or just tap on Next in the top right.
Sample Type - tap on Soil or Plant, then tap Next in the top right.
Sample Tests - You will see a list of CSBP Laboratory test suites. Tap on the required test package. You can add additional tests to the package by tapping on + Add extra. Once you've entered the Sample tests, tap on Next in the top right.
Job Summary - lists what you've selected so far. To go back and edit something, tap on the back button '<' in the top left. You can add additional instructions for the lab by clicking on + Note to the laboratory. Create and save the job by tapping the Save and add site button.
Add a new site - when you tap the Add Site button in the top left, a marker will appear in the centre of the map. Scroll around the map to choose where to drop the sample site pin. When you've got the location correct, tap Done in the top left. Name your new site then tap Done in the top right. Enter the site and paddock name and tap Save to save the site. An orange pin will be shown on the map.
OR
Add an existing site - when you tap the Add Site button in the top left, you will see white site pins appear on your map. White pins are your historical sample sites. To add a historical site to your current sampling job, simply tap on it. When selected, the pin is highlighted orange and then just tap Done in the top left. Continue as usual by entering the site and paddock name and tap Save to save the site to this job.
Add additional Depths by tapping + Sampling depth. You can also edit the depth of a task by swiping the task to the left and tapping Edit.
If the job requires paddock or sample information to be entered, you'll need to do that for each site by clicking + Paddock Information (Soil) or + Sample information (Plant). Paddock and Sample information is automatically copied between sites.
Once all the depths for a site have been sampled, and all the required information entered, complete the site by tapping on Finish in the top right of the Sample Site card. The pin for the site should turn Blue.
Submission - Submit your job, or part of a job, by tapping the Submit to laboratory button on the Job Details card. If there are remaining sites in your job that haven't been sampled, this will submit the site/sample info for anything that has been completed. If you have reasonable internet connection, the details will be submitted immediately but if you're offline (offline mode or there's no available internet conneciton) they'll be placed in a pending state and sent when you're back online. Most importantly, remember to press 'submit to laboratory' when you have finished sampling that job.
