Graphical data entry provides a way to build your log visually with immediate feedback. In graphical data entry, a page of a log report is displayed alongside a table grid. The user can select a borehole to enter, and the data appears on the report as it is entered in the grid. Changes to depth and length (or bottom) values for sample or lithology layers are reflected visually in the corresponding column on the report preview, as are changes in text (such as a lithology material description).
Note: This exercise requires the use of the training.GPJ project and the training.GLB library available from: download.aspx. Instructions for unzipping and setting up these files is on: using gint downloaded examples.aspx.
Go to INPUT.
Ensure that the current project is training.GPJ (if not, select File->Open Project and browse to the project).
Click the Graphical Data Input icon or select Additional Modules->Graphical Data Input. The first time you use graphical input mode for the current project, you see a dialog box asking which log form you would like to use:
Select the ENVIRONMENTAL BH form and click OK. You see the report form displayed on the screen.
Note: To change to a different form, use the File->Select Report for Input menu option.
Click the Quick Zoom icon in the toolbar, then click in the left side of the report header. The preview zooms in on the left section of the header.
Click the Client field in the report. A data entry window appears. Click the Project tab in the window if this is not currently showing.
In the data entry grid, change Name to ‘Apple Tree Lane Retrofit’ and Number to ‘ATL-001’. Click Save. Notice that the Project Name and Project Number in the report preview change to the new values (you may have to drag the data entry window to one side or the other to see both changes).
Click the Borehole tab, then click the Select Borehole ID button. Select borehole ‘B-1’ and click OK. Notice that the preview now shows the monitoring well log report for borehole B-1 and the data entry window shows data for B-1 also.
Change the Date Started in the data entry window to ‘11/22/2007’. Click Save. Notice that the preview is redrawn with a Date Started of the revised date.
Click the Zoom Out icon. You should be able to see sample graphics and data in the Sample Type-Number and Blow Counts columns in the preview. Click in one of these two columns. A data entry grid for sample data for borehole B-1 appears.
Change the Length in the first record to ‘12’ and the Type ‘GB’ (Grab Sample) and click Save. Notice that the sample symbol in the preview changes to a hand and the sample is half its previous length.
Change the Length back to ‘24’ and the Type back to ‘SS’, then click Save. Notice that the preview is restored to its previous contents.
Change the Bottom of the first layer to ‘6’, and the Depth of the second layer to ‘6’, then click Save. The preview is re-drawn with a longer first layer and a shorter second layer.
Click the Hide button. The data entry window disappears.
Scroll down until you see the highest of the water level symbols in the preview (End of Drilling, which is solid black), then click on it. The data entry table for water levels appears.
Click the Grid Data Input tab to exit Graphical Data Entry. You are returned to the standard data entry grid for borehole B-1.
Click the Graphical Data Input icon or select Additional Modules->Graphical Data Input.
Click in the header. A data entry window opens.
Click the New Borehole ID button. The ‘New Borehole’ dialog box appears.
Enter a Borehole ID of ‘TEMP-1’ and a Total Depth of ‘20’. Click OK. A blank log report with a 20' depth appears in the preview and the data entry window shows borehole ‘TEMP-1’. [If the borehole data is not showing in the data entry window, click the Borehole tab.]
You are able to enter borehole data for this borehole in the data entry window.
Click in one of the sample columns. An empty grid for entry of sample data for the borehole appears.
Click the Grid Data Input tab to exit graphical data entry.
