Text Data

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Text data columns can be used to display any information that varies with depth; such as soil classification, RQD, chemical testing, lithologic consistency, laboratory results, drilling rates, etc.

 

When a new log is created, text datasets will be automatically created for whatever text data columns are specified in the template. The names of these text datasets will appear in the Text Data submenu of the Edit menu and the Popup menu.

 

An additional text dataset is added for the Lithology Description column called Description. Any text data entered for this dataset will appear in the Lithology Description column. It can be used to add information about minor layer changes, inclusions or debris, color changes, etc.

 

It is also possible to create additional text datasets or delete datasets as described the sections below.
