Posting results received from sample testing requires login to the web site and use of the Admin Menu:
- Content > Add content > Field Trip
one per Stewards group per date - Content > Add content > Water Sample
one per Site sampled during the field trip - Post results to the webform Analyte (which is embedded in the appropriate Water Sample)
A Field Trip can be added to the database as soon as it is planned to occur, since only the date is required, although conditions like current and previous weather are more completely known shortly after the fact.
A Water Sample can be added to the database as soon as it occurs (but usually after completion of entire Field Trip); the time of day of each sampling is required.
Results can be posted (to the webform Analyte) when the corresponding Water Sample has been created. They can be posted either individually (see Analyte Webform) or by importing a .CSV file containing several (see Analyte File Import).
