HOW DO I MANAGE CONCRETE MIXES IN FORNEYVAULT?

Concrete mix designs in ForneyVault allow you to create, manage, and track the various concrete mixes your lab uses for testing. Each mix design contains important information such as the mix ID, description, and related specifications. By maintaining an accurate list of active and inactive mixes, you ensure consistent data entry, clear reporting, and reliable traceability across all tests.  In addition to managing mix information, ForneyVault automatically connects your mix designs to every sample and test result that uses them. This data can be analyzed using the Mix Performance Report, which summarizes the performance of each mix across all samples and test ages, helping you monitor trends and identify issues over time.
