REPORT DESIGN - Depth per page

Hi,

I have a report design (log) where I want to show the entire depth of the hole on one page, there are multiple holes with varying depths that will use this design.

Currently to do this, I went to LOG REPORT PROPERTIES>Report Structure>Depth Units Page 1 and left it blank.

This fits it all on one page but I have text under the last boundary line that shows up in some white space near the bottom of the page (TEXT VS DEPTH PROPERTIES>Boundary Text>Text Below Last Line) and then some general comments (TEXT VS DEPTH PROPERTIES>Main>Text Expression) that are being split and some of it pushed to a second page. The general comments has the Depth Expression set to the hole depth.

Is there a way to make the white space at the bottom larger to fit both sections of text? Or how do I control the position of the last boundary line?

I have included a screen shot that shows the white space (at the bottom) where the text needs to go.

Thanks.

  • Marshall,

    In order for you to have more space at the bottom for the notes, you may want to try and not leave the  LOG REPORT PROPERTIES>Report Structure>Depth Units Page 1 blank but add some more to the total depth of the hole.  

    For example below the Borehole has the total depth of 45 feet, and by setting it to 52 feet in OG REPORT PROPERTIES>Report Structure>Depth Units Page 1, it shows the following:

      

     

  • Thanks for your response Aparna,

    I think that is the right idea but I was hoping to have a report design that I could use for holes of varying depth and length of comments.

    So far I have changed LOG REPORT PROPERTIES>Report Structure>Depth Units Page 1 to <<calc(<<point.holedepth>>*1.4)>> as that seemed like it gave enough white space for the logs with the most comments but the ones without a lot of comments look a bit off with the extra white space.

    Would it be possible to make a formula that in some way counts the number of lines in the comments field and chooses the multiplication factor based on that?

    Thanks.

  • In your input Borehole table, if you have a column for Depth log per page, you can set the depth of each borehole with a few extra depending on the the total borehole depth.  This way each can have their own desired depth per page.  If you get to do this, you should have the LOG REPORT PROPERTIES>Report Structure>Depth Units Page 1 to show the User system data expression of <<User System Data.Depth Log Page>>.  (This user system data expression is in the standard gINT US or std gINT US lab library, under Report Structure tab of any report template).

    See the example of the Input Borehole table:  I am using the std us lab.gpj and std us lab.glb

                                                  

                                                      

  • Thanks for your response.

    So if I am understanding it right, this way you would have to trial and error hole by hole the value of additional depth to show beyond the end of the hole to fit the comments at the end.

    I was hoping there would be a way using functions to determine how much additional depth after the end of the hole is required to hit the comments.

    I imagined it as each additional line of text would correspond to a fixed height on the page, this would be translated into a factor that is multiplied to the depth of the hole to fit. eg: it counts X lines of text in the comments and sets the depth to show as 1.Y multiplied by the hole depth, I imagine the relation between X and Y could be determined based on how tall a line of text is on 1 page.

  • Yes, the solution above will involve trial and error. gINT does not have a function that will count the number of lines of text you entered in a column.
