I am working on borehole logs for environmental-related work. I have seen logs done by other consulting firms where the soil vapour data will be displayed as a line chart (similar to say atterberg limits for geotechnical boreholes). My question is how do I set up my logs to be able to do this? I have included a photograph of a borehole log I found through a google search to illustrate exactly what i mean by line charts in the log.
Hi Alex,
Creating this type of graph would be using a plot vs depth entity on a report. In the plot vs depth entity you would just call in the fields in your database that represented that data.
First I want to emphasize there are MANY, MANY, MANY ways you can set this up. This is just to demonstrate the capability. You first need a Table to enter the values. It can be very simple where you create a new table with a field for each compound or something more complex. This is a very simple Demonstration of the capability.
There is some great reference Material for managing your database (creating new tables and fields), Designing reports, and training.
