Templates

Templates are used to control the layout and formatting of borehole logs. In general, all of the boreholes in a project would use one or two templates to format the logs. In this way, a consistent format can be established within a project and across projects. Once a template is created it is available to all projects.

WinLoG comes with numerous easily customized templates, which can be edited and saved as new templates. You can also create a new template by specifying the desired layout.
