Creating from Map

A selection of location data from the mapping interface can be used to create a location group by following the steps below;

• Select the locations to group. For more information on selecting locations see the section on selecting data in this guide.
  
• Once the location points have been selected from the mapping interface you can use this information directly within the filter window without creating a new group by selecting the Project filter option in the top left-hand side of the interface and select the option for Map Selection.
  

This technique can be used in a variety of ways to manipulate the data in the database.

For example, if a client wanted just the geology records for holes inside a specific section of the map, a selection could be made then the Geology Records table opened with the map selection filter applied.

• Once the Map Selection filter has been applied, open the Location Details table to view the list of holes selected on the map. Select the Create Group option from the context sensitive ribbon.
  
• Enter the name for the group and click save
  
• The group will then be added to the interface and will allow for use with filtering of other grids as well as other uses.
