Well macros can be used to quickly add standard well components, water level information, and text annotation to a log. Macros can be used for single well installation, complex nested wells, above-ground well casings, etc. All well macros are stored as Type 3 wells.
Well macros can be created using the Well Macros menu item on the File menu, or by saving existing well completion details of a log as a well macro. There is no limit to the number of macros that can be used.
To create or edit a Well Macro using the File menu, select the Well Macros menu item. The Select Well Macros form will be displayed, listing all of the current well macros. An existing well macro can be edited by double-clicking on it in the list. To add a new well macro click on the plus button at the bottom of the form.
The creation and editing of the well macros use the same form as that used for Well Type 3 data. This form has four tabs for the Layout, Components, Water Levels, and Annotation. For a detailed description on how to use this form see the section entitled "Well 3 Type Column" in the "Borehole Logs" chapter.
Well macros can also be created after the well data has been input for a log, using the "Save as Well Macro" button on the "Well" form. When this button is pressed a form will be displayed where you can specify the name of the well macro.
