Import Results

1. Open SoilMate program
2. Click Lab Test Results
3. Click the black down arrow to the right of Import Test Result (note, clicking the Import Test Result button itself will also link to this option)
4. Click Download Latest Results

The program will now connect to the server to check for available results, this uses internet connection. Continue when a Lab test Import pop-up box appears.

5. Check status of available samples
   • Pre-logged match to barcode: This is the one we want, samples are ready to be imported
   • OK: Contrarily, these are not OK. Some requirements have not been completed or there is a barcode/lab test mismatch, do not import. Contact Support if obvious mismatch between barcodes and tests cannot be found
   • Analyte error: There is a mismatch between sample order and sample received, do not import. Contact Support for assistance if obvious mismatch cannot be found and resolved
   • Lab Test Barcode already imported: This barcode has already been imported into your system. If you are re-entering results (perhaps samples were re-tested) use the Reload Import File option

If the above messages have indicated a mismatch, this could be in the barcodes entered by the lab, a PO number or a lab product code. Try to compare the information in the pop up box with the information in your Sample Order. If the pop up box information is incorrect, this indicates an error by the laboratory that must be resolved before samples can be imported. Occasionally an error in your order form can be discovered this way, correct this if required and import results only when the status is Pre-logged match to barcode. For assistance, contact our HelpDesk.

6. If status pre-logged match to barcode, click required samples (default will already be ticked)
   1. Click Import

Samples will now be imported into program and matched with the sample order. You can now preview these results or create recommendations.

This could be if a sample has been re-tested, or tested under a new product code.
