Hello,
I was wondering where to change the PP units. I noticed that in one page it is in kg/cm2, however in the report page it is in TSF.
Refer to the file attached

The units shown on the Table are just displayed for user reference. You can change them by going to DATA DESIGN, selecting your Data Template, going to the SAMPLE TABLE, and then selecting the Pocket Penetrometer field. At the bottom, you'll see the box for units.
On the report sheet, you need to go into the REPORT DESIGN and select the report you would like to change. Find the Text vs Depth entity for the PP readings and select it. If the Text to Display expression has something like
<<Sample.PocketPenetrometer>> tsf
then gINT is referencing the field in the sample table and no conversion is being performed. If you want to have both units, then change the expression to
<<Sample.PocketPenentrometer>> tsf (<<Calc(<<Sample.PocketPenetrometer>>/0.095760)>> MPa)
That expression is based on the assumption that your field is called PocketPenetrometer. You'll have to change it to the actual field name.
Hello Allan and Aparna,
I have been trying to follow your directions on this (how to change the PP units), please refer to the file attached, I see the PP drop down menu BUT don't see where to enter the units.
Please let me know.PDF
To change the units in the Input column header you can do it two ways:1) In your input table which has the column, right click and go to Field properties. Change the units from the list available. This change will only be reflected on the header of the column in your input table. Also, this change will only be for this project. 2) In Data Design under Project Database tab, go to Open File Icon (red arrow on the file) Select either Open project or Current project or Open Data template. From the yellow dropdown menu select your table that has PP field. Change the units from the available. If you choose Data template option then this change will be reflected in your data template and the future projects that you will create from this template will reflect this change.

Thanks a lot Aparna,

Please refer to the file attached,
I followed your directions about the PP units (both ways), however, still the units shown are in TSF (I want them in kg/cm2). See boring logs.
In report design, i opened the "TEST and NOTES" section (Ensayos y Notas). In the text expression, I understand I need to see something related to PP values or units, but I don;t see anything.
Please let me know.
Does anyone has any input or comments about this issue?, Will it work if i send all the files to a specific person so he can check?
Thanks
Hi Pelelo, it depends where on the log you are still showing TSF as the units. If it is in the column header, you need to open the report entity, select the "Column" tab, and edit what is in the "Column Header Label" field. If it is associated with each PP reading displayed, it may be included in the "Text Expression" under the main tab (something like <<sample.pp>> TSF" , where you just need to edit the TSF to your units. If the Text Expression is a "User System Data" function (something like <<UserSystemData.PP>>), you will need to edit that expression under Data Design>User System Data, and use the yellow drop down box at top to select "PP" or whatever you actually see in the expression on the report log. If you are not familiar with user system data functions, they are simply an expression that is defined there and given a short name, so it can easily be referenced in multiple reports.
Hi William,
Thanks for your input.
I checked both the column header label in the Column tab and the text expression in the main tab but did not see anything related to PP units. See file attached.
I also check the "User System Data" and did not see anything related to PP in the yellow tab. Please refer to the file attached as well.
Please let me know your thoughts. ThanPDFks.
