Introducing new Project Manager and Lab Manager tiles
Boost efficiency & project visibility with new home screen tiles
MetaField is rolling out new Project Manager and Lab Manager home screen tiles over the next couple of weeks! These five new tiles provide a more powerful and intuitive way to track project progress, optimize workflows, and ensure timely, accurate project delivery, giving you a clearer, real-time view of key data.
For Project Managers:
- Keep projects on track by surfacing actions that need immediate attention with one click.
- Enable better decision-making and resource allocation with real-time insights into field and lab work status.
- Improve accountability and efficiency by monitoring completed and missing work by project and assigned technician.
(Note: Cast Cylinder and Soil Nuclear Gauge Tiles will be replaced by Lab Testing and Field Testing Tiles.)
For Lab Managers:
- Achieve greater accuracy and accountability by tracking lab sample progress from start to finish.
- Ensure faster turnaround and improved client satisfaction by gaining a comprehensive view into all outstanding and future tests.
- Optimize workloads and reduce bottlenecks by efficiently allocating lab resources with backlog visibility.
If you are a Project or Lab Manager, visit the Tile Library and add these five new tiles to your home screen to enhance your MetaField experience!

New Calibration Intervals for equipment records
We have added additional calibration intervals for use in defining equipment calibrations. This feature allows for more accurate definition of these events.
Project Specifications
Copy Project Specifications now copies all specifications
We have resolved an issue where the Copy Specifications to Another Project function did not transfer all specifications.
Now, all specifications are successfully copied to the destination project as intended.
