1. Ensure the By Program tab is selected and select the program name from the program name drop down list.
2. Choose the appropriate site from the Site drop down box.
3. Choose either the Area of Site, Type of Location, Study Name or Sampling Program option to narrow the list of intervals that will be produced.
4. Following the option selected in the previous step, the box immediately below will become filled with more options such as a list of areas or studies. Choose from the list and the Available Intervals box will become populated with intervals which meet your interval criteria.
Note: You can switch between the interval name and interval alternate name by pressing the button immediately below the Available Intervals title.
5. From the Available Intervals box, select the intervals you wish to add to your program by clicking on their name. As this is done, the names will be added in the Selected Intervals box.
Note: If the interval you wish to select is not on the Available Intervals list, you can reselect the interval criteria at any time. If the interval has not yet been added to the system, you must add it using the Locations form and then close and re-open the Sample Program form.
Duplicates can be added by clicking on the name of an interval which has already been selected. When this is done, a message box will open prompting the user for the name of the duplicate. Two samples will now be required from this interval, one labeled with the interval name, the second with the duplicate name. The system tracks the link between the two such that the duplicate results can be compared to the original. Also, this duplicate name will appear on sample bottle labels and chain of custody forms.
