Objective
This article covers the COPC (Contaminants of Potential Concern) tab on the Edit Site page in EnviroAutomate. This tab allows you to select which analytes are considered contaminants of potential concern for the site, organised by sampling matrix.
Prerequisites
Analytes and analyte groups must be configured in the system (under Scientific Settings)
What This Tab Shows
The COPC tab uses a tabbed interface at the top to switch between sampling matrices (e.g., Soil, Fresh Water). Each matrix tab shows a badge with the count of selected analytes. Within each matrix, analytes are organised into analyte groups displayed as an accordion.
Key Actions
Selecting Analytes
Click a matrix tab to view its analyte groups
Use the Search analytes input above the accordion to quickly find an analyte by name
Expand an analyte group to see the individual analytes
Tick the box next to each analyte that is a contaminant of concern for this site
Use the group-level checkbox (next to the accordion header) to select or deselect every analyte in that group at once
Each analyte shows its CAS-RN number, concentration type, and unit of measurement
Group Checkbox Behaviour
Checked (tick) - All analytes in the group are selected
Indeterminate (dash) - Some analytes in the group are selected
Unchecked (empty) - No analytes in the group are selected
Clicking a group checkbox when unchecked or indeterminate selects all; clicking when checked deselects all
COPC Description
Use the Description text area to add notes about the COPC selections for this site. The description is shared across all matrices.
Other Actions
Expand/Collapse All - Expand or collapse every analyte group at once
Save Analytes for {matrix} - Click this button to save the selections for the matrix you are currently viewing
Cautionary Notes
Remember to click "Save" after making changes to your COPC selections
COPC selections are per-matrix - make sure to check all relevant matrix tabs
COPC selections influence which analytes appear in reports and data analysis for this site
Tips for Efficiency
Use the group-level checkboxes to quickly select or deselect entire analyte groups
Use the Search analytes input when you only know part of an analyte's name
Check the badge counts on the matrix tabs to see at a glance how many analytes are selected per matrix
Use Expand All to see all analyte groups when making bulk selections
