All panels are movable and re-sizable. When the edge of a pane is hovered, the pointer changes to the resize mark shown below and can then be resized by pressing and holding down the left mouse button before moving it in the desired direction.
On the right-hand side of the screen there are the Preview and the Properties windows. Both of them can be docked or moved. By clicking and dragging on the title of a panel it is possible to move the panel wherever is desired.
On the left-hand side of the screen there is a tree view of all the library items that can be used in the template creation. The General and Tables Group items apply (and activated) only when forming the Header and Footer area, whereas the Depth Related Group Items are activated and can be used on the Depth Related Area pane.
On the central area of the screen there are the three panes where the grid is applied according to the dimensions chosen in the Template Setup form (window – box).
Templates can be previewed in the Preview window on the right-hand side of the screen. It is possible to drag the preview box to a new position, make it full screen and move it to another monitor if it is a larger image.
In the preview window it is possible to select the borehole you want and by clicking the Refresh button on the right the Template will be populated with the data of the selected borehole.
On the bottom of the box there are the Detach Full Page, Print, Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons.
When a Log is refreshed sometimes a red message will display on the bottom left saying, "Please review the messages". Clicking on the messages tab will display what the message error is (e.g., In the Depth area, there is a problem with a Point Data Text and Either a reference field or an expression is required).
Clicking on the message puts focus onto the cell that produced the error.
