There are three types of tasks; Sample Collection, Concrete Tests and Borings and Wells. These tasks can be displayed on a dashboard showing a list of tasks and a weekly calendar of tasks.  

 

Sample collection tasks can be on a singular or re-occurring bases. Each task can contain one or more stations or samples. Stations are used to locate positions where multiple samples will be taken, normally for reoccurring events. Boring and well tasks can contain one or more borings and wells.Concrete test tasks can be used to schedule one or more concrete tests on samples.

 

Sampling defaults, equipment, personnel, required lab analyses, required concrete tests, and access rights can be set in the task and then passed down automatically to stations, samples and tests in the task. Access rights can be used to control who can view and edit the task on a personnel or privilege level basis.

 

Notifications can be sent throughout the work process via email, SMS (text message), or internal notification within the program. To use this feature, the network version must be installed and the GaeaSynergy 4 Network Data Manager service running. These notifications can only be setup in tasks. The following notifications can be sent to selected personnel during the process:

 

Borings and Wells Task

 

•Boring or well required***

•Boring or well completed***

 

Sample Collection Task

 

•Samples required

•Samples collected **

•Samples not collected (Non-compliant)

•Samples shipped to lab **

•Samples received by lab *

•Lab analyses complete *

•Lab analyses received

•Parameter exceedence (Non-compliant)

•Samples stored by lab *

•Samples disposed by lab *

 

Concrete Tests Task

 

•Concrete test required

•Concrete test completed

 

* Notifications require the lab to be using the EDMS Lab program. This program is supplied to labs for free by GAEA.

** Notifications require field personnel to be using EDMS Field.

*** Notifications require field personnel to be using WinLoG RT.

 

For Sample Collection tasks sample labels can be printed or saved to a PDF file. These sample labels can contain barcodes that can be scanned by analysis labs instead of manually entering the sample information. A Chain of Custody (COC) can be printed or saved to an Excel file. The COC is in a specific formats for each lab. GAEA will be updating these forms as more labs are added. If your lab or their COC format is not listed please contact GAEA to arrange for them to be added.
