EZSPM Format

The EZSPM format is a simplified version of the SPM format. The EZSPM format allows users to easily create multiple planned and scheduled tasks, samples, results, containers, and activities with limited manual data entry. This format assumes the plan already exists in SPM and the SPM_CONTRACT_MAG information is already setup.

The Analysis_Request_General, Analysis_Request_Detail, and Activity_Request_Detail sections automatically create multiple Task, Sample, and Activity rows, respectively, on EDD load. The Task, Sample, and Activity sections can then be reviewed and modified before creating and commiting. The Analysis_Request_General, Analysis_Request_Detail, and Activity_Request_Detail sections do not map to any database tables—these sections just create rows in other sections of the EZSPM format.

A potential workflow could be:

1.Open the EZSPM format in EDP.

2.Add one row to the Analysis_Request_General section. This will correspond to one Task row. Note that each EDD can only have one Analysis_Request_General row.

3.Add one or more rows to Analysis_Request_Detail section. Each row in Analysis_Request_Detail will create one to many Sample rows.

Analysis_Request_Detail.location_group or Analysis_Request_Detail.location dictates how many Sample rows will be created. One Sample row will be created for every location within the location_group, or individual location listed.

The Sample section creates samples, results, and containers when committed. One container per SPM_CONTRACT_MAG will be created.

4.Add one or more rows to Activity_Request_Detail. Each row in Activity_Request_Detail will create one to many Activity rows.

Activity_Request_Detail.location_group or Activity_Request_Detail.location dictates how many Activity rows will be created. One Activity row will be created for every location within the location_group, or individual location listed.

5.Save the EDD.

6.Clear EDP, or reopen the EZSPM format.

7.Open the EDD saved in Step 5.

8.Review the Task, Sample, and Activity rows for errors.

9.Add Collect_Members rows as desired. This section allows users to add specific user_names to exisiting Collect groups.

10.Create and Commit.

Note: Task, Sample, and Activity rows will be automatically created each time an EZSPM EDD is loaded with Analysis_Request_General, Analysis_Request_Detail, and Activity_Request_Detail information. If there needs to be changes to the Analysis_Request_General, Analysis_Request_Detail, or Activity_Request_Detail sections after opening the EDD (e.g., Step 7 above, which automatically populated Task, Sample, and Activity), ensure that Task, Sample, and Activity are cleared before saving the EDD. Not doing so will result in duplicate Task, Sample, and Activity rows when the EDD is opened again.

The tables below provide detailed automatic population information for the Task, Sample, and Activity sections. Blank cells indicate that the field is not automatically populated.
