The DCP test register
Purpose, search, filters and the register columns.
The DCP module holds dynamic cone penetrometer field records with full CBR interpretation.
Its stated purpose is worth keeping in mind: capture field readings once, preserve the evidence, and reuse the snapshot in calculations, Ground Logs and reporting. The readings you enter here become the source for everything downstream.
Searching and filtering
Search matches on DCP number, project, job or location. The status dropdown filters by state. A refresh button sits beside it.
