The header and footer of the template are used to display general information about the boring/well. This includes information about the unique ID, name, X and Y coordinates, text and memo information. Text and memo information can include information such as project name, location, client, date, drill method, etc. The difference between text data and memo data is that memo data can have more than one line and memo data can contain rich text.

 

The header is usually located at the top of the page and the footer is usually located at the bottom of the page. A template does not have to contain a header or a footer. There are no limits to the number of titles a header or footer can contain. Each title can be used to display text data, memo data, or a checkbox.

 

The general data is tied to the type of data in the template. This way if the template is edited or a different template is used the data will move depending upon the location within the template. For example, if the data is for the location of the boring/well and in the template the location is the first line of the header. If later the template is edited and the location is moved to the third line of the footer, when the log is displayed the location will show up in the third line of the footer.

 

To edit the header or footer and display the Template Header and Footer Entry form either:

 

•select the Header or Footer menu items from the Edit or Popup menus

•double click on the Header or Footer object on the sidebar

•click on the header or footer of the template.

 

After one of the above tasks has been completed, the Template Header and Footer Entry form will be displayed. The Template Header and Footer Entry form has three tabs; one for the header, one for the footer, and one for the layout of the header and footer. If the template has two pages, this form will have six tabs, three for the first page and three for the second page. Data entry and editing for the second page is identical to the first page, which is described in the sections below.
